Summary:
The city of Maynard, Arkansas is home to two schools: Maynard Elementary School and Maynard High School, both part of the Maynard School District. These schools face significant challenges, with both performing below the state average in academic proficiency and serving a high-poverty student population.
Maynard Elementary School is ranked 388 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently struggles with low proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Maynard High School is ranked 168 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 2-star rating, with some subject areas performing better than the elementary school but still below the state average.
Both schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, exceeding 98%, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge facing the Maynard community. While the student-teacher ratio at the high school level is remarkably low, the elementary school ratio is still higher than the state average. Additionally, the spending per student at both schools is relatively low compared to the state, which may contribute to the schools' struggles in providing adequate resources and support for their students.
