Summary:
The city of Mabelvale, Arkansas, is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Little Rock School District. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages, with low test scores, high poverty levels, and potential resource allocation concerns.
Across the 2 elementary schools (Chicot Elementary School and Mabelvale Elementary School), the Mabelvale Middle School, and the Little Rock Southwest High School, test scores in subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with some grades having 0% proficiency. Additionally, these schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.5% to over 90%.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the schools in Mabelvale are still struggling to achieve better academic outcomes, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve educational opportunities for students in the community. The consistently low performance across all schools in the area indicates a systemic challenge that requires a comprehensive approach to ensure all students in Mabelvale have access to a quality education.
