Summary:
The city of El Dorado, Arkansas is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance across the schools, with some standout performers like Hugh Goodwin Elementary School and Parkers Chapel Elementary School outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Yocum Elementary School and Northwest Elementary School struggle in several subject areas.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role, as most schools in the El Dorado School District have very high free and reduced lunch rates, while the Parkers Chapel School District schools have significantly lower rates. This disparity in socioeconomic status may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools.
Resource allocation also seems to vary, with Parkers Chapel High School and El Dorado High School having the highest spending per student, while the elementary schools generally have lower spending. The student-teacher ratios also range widely, from 6.2 at Parkers Chapel High School to 19.3 at Hugh Goodwin Elementary School, which may impact the quality of instruction and support available to students.
