S.C. Tucker Elementary School

Summary:

S.C. Tucker Elementary School is a public elementary school in Danville, Arkansas, serving 331 students in grades K-4 and part of the Danville School District, which is ranked 54 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

S.C. Tucker Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in academic subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in these areas were significantly higher than the state averages, with 4th-grade proficiency rates particularly impressive. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Dardanelle Intermediate School and Dardanelle Primary School. However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 76-83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

Despite the challenges of serving a relatively disadvantaged population, S.C. Tucker Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Arkansas elementary schools, with a peak ranking of 30 out of 492 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Compared to nearby schools like Two Rivers Elementary School and Western Yell County Elementary School, S.C. Tucker generally outperforms these schools in academic proficiency, likely due in part to its lower student-teacher ratio. The school's strong performance, even with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggests it has effective strategies in place to support its student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
