Summary:
The city of Magazine, Arkansas is home to two schools: Magazine Elementary School and Magazine High School, both part of the Magazine School District. While Magazine Elementary School is a strong performer, ranking 90th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools, Magazine High School faces more significant challenges, ranking 153rd out of 305 Arkansas high schools.
Magazine Elementary School stands out for its high performance, outpacing state and district averages in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science. With a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, the elementary school provides a solid foundation for student success. In contrast, Magazine High School lags behind in most subject areas, except for a notable 100% proficiency rate in 8th-grade Geometry. The high school's student-teacher ratio of 7.2:1 is significantly lower than the elementary school, an unusual finding.
Both schools serve a student population with high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a relatively low-income community. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the challenges faced by Magazine High School in academic performance. To address these disparities, the district could explore targeted interventions and support, particularly in Mathematics and Algebra, while also building upon the strengths of Magazine Elementary School to improve outcomes at the high school level.
