Summary:
The West Fork School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: West Fork Elementary School, West Fork High School, and West Fork Middle School. While the high school stands out as a strong performer, the elementary and middle schools face challenges in meeting state benchmarks.
West Fork High School is the standout performer, ranking 86 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school outperforms the state average in several subject areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Biology. Additionally, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 3.3, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. In contrast, West Fork Elementary School, while showing improvement in its statewide ranking, still lags behind the high school in overall performance, with the school performing better than the district and state averages in only a few areas, such as 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Reading.
The data reveals a notable difference in performance between the high school and the elementary/middle schools. West Fork School District may benefit from analyzing the practices and approaches used at the high school that contribute to its stronger performance and applying similar strategies to improve the lower-performing schools. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges.
