Summary:
The Jessieville, Arkansas school district consists of three schools: Jessieville Elementary School, Jessieville High School, and Jessieville Middle School. This district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with all three schools having very high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Jessieville Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools and outperforming the state and district averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics. In contrast, Jessieville High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates in mathematics well below the state average, despite being ranked in the top 25% of Arkansas high schools in recent years.
The Jessieville School District presents an opportunity for collaboration and resource sharing among the three schools, as the close proximity of the schools could facilitate the implementation of best practices from the high-performing Jessieville Elementary School at the middle and high school levels. This could potentially lead to improved outcomes for the district as a whole, addressing the academic needs of students across all grade levels.
