Baseline Elementary School

Summary:

Baseline Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Little Rock, Arkansas, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Little Rock School District, which is ranked 189 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Baseline Elementary School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arkansas, with a statewide ranking between 450-496 out of 487-497 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, Baseline Elementary School had proficiency rates of only 3.9% in English Language Arts, 5.3% in Reading, 12.9% in Mathematics, and 6.1% in Science for all grades, which are substantially lower than the Little Rock School District and Arkansas state averages. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 17.3 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Little Rock School District.

The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.37% to 100% over the past three school years, indicates that Baseline Elementary School serves a population with significant economic disadvantages. This may contribute to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic factors can have a significant impact on student achievement. When compared to other elementary schools in the Little Rock School District, such as Western Hills Elementary School, Mabelvale Elementary School, and Daisy Bates Elementary School, Baseline Elementary School consistently underperforms on academic measures.

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.
