Quitman Elementary School maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top half of elementary schools in Arkansas. While the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.2% to 61.76%, it has a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, ranging from 14 to 16 students per teacher. Interestingly, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Greenbrier School District schools, which are among the top-performing schools in the state.

Quitman Elementary School's spending per student ($10,665 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong performance. However, the school's ranking and performance have fluctuated over the years, with a slight decline in recent years, which could be an area of focus for the school to understand and address. Additionally, analyzing the performance of specific subgroups, such as economically disadvantaged students or English Language Learners, could provide valuable insights to help the school address any achievement gaps.

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.
