Summary:
The city of Tuckerman, Arkansas is home to two schools: Tuckerman Elementary School and Tuckerman High School, both part of the Jackson County School District. While the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, the high school stands out as a top-performing institution in the region.
Tuckerman High School consistently ranks among the best high schools in Arkansas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, the high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.5, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
In contrast, Tuckerman Elementary School has experienced a drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 73rd out of 487 Arkansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 280th out of 497 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade math. Despite the similar per-student spending between the two schools, the district may need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to address the performance gap between the elementary and high school.
