Summary:
The city of Timbo, Arkansas is home to two schools, Timbo Elementary School and Timbo High School, both part of the Mountain View School District. While Timbo Elementary has historically been the stronger performer, both schools face challenges in serving their high-poverty student populations.
Timbo Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, dropping from 120 out of 487 Arkansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 247 out of 497 in 2023-2024. However, the school still maintains a 3-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Timbo High School has struggled more consistently, ranking 217 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and receiving only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Both schools have extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the community. While Timbo Elementary School has shown some bright spots, such as strong 6th-grade performance in English Language Arts and Reading, Timbo High School has struggled academically, particularly in Mathematics and Algebra. Targeted interventions and support, as well as a focus on identifying and replicating successful practices, may be necessary to drive improvement in these schools.
