Best Public Schools in Caraway, AR


Summary:

The city of Caraway, Arkansas has one public elementary school, Riverside East Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Riverside School District. The district is ranked 99 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Riverside East Elementary School faces significant challenges, with its academic performance consistently underperforming the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics are generally lower than the Riverside School District and Arkansas state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in ATLAS/Mathematics for all grades was 21.3%, compared to the district average of 26.2% and the state average of 36.4%. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is also mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others are lower.

The school's relatively low per-student spending of $9,866 for the 2018-2019 school year and high percentage of students (74.83%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year may indicate resource constraints, which could be contributing to the academic underperformance. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 in the 2022-2023 school year could be a positive factor, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Riverside East Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students, and further investigation into the root causes and strategies for improvement would be valuable.
