Summary:
The city of Osceola, Arkansas, is home to two elementary schools: Carroll Smith Elementary School and North Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 245 out of 252 districts in the state with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, neither Carroll Smith Elementary nor North Elementary appear to be standout performers. Carroll Smith Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages in all subject areas and grade levels, with the highest proficiency rate being 50.7% in 3rd grade English. North Elementary does not have any test score data provided. Both schools have extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population.
The two schools also differ in their resource allocation, with North Elementary spending $15,206 per student and having a student-teacher ratio of 18.7, while Carroll Smith Elementary spends $10,769 per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.4. This contrast in spending and staffing suggests differences in priorities and approaches between the two schools, but the overall academic performance remains a concern for the Osceola School District as a whole.
