Summary:
The city of Taylor, Arkansas is home to two standout schools, Taylor Elementary School and Taylor High School, both part of the Emerson-Taylor-Bradley School District. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with Taylor Elementary ranked 34th out of 497 elementary schools and Taylor High ranked 24th out of 305 high schools in Arkansas for the 2023-2024 school year.
Both schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with students outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science. Taylor Elementary School stands out with particularly strong Mathematics performance, with over 66% of students proficient or better across all grade levels. While Taylor High School's Mathematics and Algebra performance is slightly below the district average, it still remains above the state average, suggesting an area for potential improvement.
The schools' success is further supported by their equitable access to resources, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending compared to the state average. However, the lower-than-average free and reduced-price lunch rates at both schools indicate a relatively affluent student population, which may impact the schools' performance and resources compared to more economically diverse schools in the region.
