Summary:
The Star City School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Star City Jimmy Brown Elementary School, Star City High School, and Star City Middle School. While the high school has shown improvement, the district as a whole is underperforming, with the elementary and middle schools struggling to meet state academic standards.
Star City High School has seen the most progress, moving from the bottom quartile of Arkansas high schools to the middle quartile and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Star City Jimmy Brown Elementary School and Star City Middle School both remain in the bottom quartile of their respective school types, with 1-star ratings and consistently low test scores across subjects and grade levels.
The Star City School District as a whole ranks 188th out of 252 districts in Arkansas and earns only a 1-star rating, indicating systemic challenges. High rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 62% to 70%, suggest the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the academic struggles. Addressing the root causes of the low test scores and lack of progress will be critical for improving outcomes across the district.
