Guy-Perkins Elementary School

Summary:

Guy-Perkins Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 201 students in grades K-6 in the small town of Guy, Arkansas. The school is part of the Guy-Perkins School District, which is ranked 142 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, Guy-Perkins Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, only 23% of students were proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 36.4%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 126th out of 471 elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 242nd out of 497 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in Arkansas. This trend is likely due to the school's extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 98.7% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When comparing Guy-Perkins Elementary to nearby schools, it underperforms most of them on standardized tests. For example, Greenbrier Springhill Elementary and Greenbrier Eastside Elementary, which are part of the higher-ranked Greenbrier School District, significantly outperform Guy-Perkins in all subject areas. This suggests that the Guy-Perkins School District may need to implement more effective educational strategies and interventions to improve student achievement at Guy-Perkins Elementary.

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.
