Summary:
The city of Wilson, Arkansas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Rivercrest Elementary School, Academies At Rivercrest High School, and Rivercrest Junior High Prep Academy. These schools, which are part of the Rivercrest School District, serve a high-need student population, with all three schools reporting that 100% of their students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the three schools, Rivercrest Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 229 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in several subject areas, including 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Mathematics. In contrast, Academies At Rivercrest High School struggled with student performance, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in most subject areas.
The data also reveals significant differences in academic performance between the elementary, middle, and high school levels within the Rivercrest School District. While Rivercrest Elementary School appears to be the strongest performer, the Rivercrest Junior High Prep Academy and high school both struggle to meet state averages. This raises questions about how resources are being allocated within the district and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning across all grade levels.
