Summary:
The city of Viola, Arkansas is home to two schools: Viola Elementary School and Viola High School, both part of the Viola School District. While Viola Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Arkansas elementary schools, Viola High School appears to be struggling, with declining statewide rankings and proficiency rates below state averages.
Viola Elementary School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 58th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all above the state averages, sometimes by a significant margin. In contrast, Viola High School has a 2-star rating and has seen its statewide ranking decline from 109th to 198th out of 305 Arkansas high schools over the past 3 years. The high school's proficiency rates are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Geometry.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the two schools within the Viola School District. While the reasons for this disparity are not entirely clear, factors such as socioeconomic status, funding and resource allocation, and staffing may be contributing to the challenges faced by Viola High School. Further analysis is needed to identify the underlying issues and develop strategies to improve outcomes at the high school level.
