Summary:
The 72473 zip code area is home to two schools - Tuckerman Elementary School and Tuckerman High School, both part of the Jackson County School District. While the elementary school faces some challenges, the high school stands out as a top performer in the state, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Arkansas.
Tuckerman High School has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, placing it 18th out of 305 high schools in the state. The school's test scores are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. With a student-teacher ratio of 7.5, the high school also benefits from a more favorable learning environment compared to the elementary school's ratio of 15.1.
In contrast, Tuckerman Elementary School lags behind the high school and state averages in many subject areas, suggesting potential areas for improvement. The elementary school also has a higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores. However, both schools have similar per-student spending, indicating the district may be allocating resources more effectively at the high school level.
