Summary:
The city of Wynne, Arkansas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in the Wynne School District show a wide range of performance, with Wynne Intermediate School standing out as a strong performer, while the other schools, particularly Wynne Junior High School and Wynne High School, struggle to meet state averages on standardized tests.
Wynne Intermediate School excels, with 40.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 29.6% and the state average of 33.8%. The school also performs well in other subjects like reading, math, and science. In contrast, Wynne High School's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a ranking of 90 out of 282 Arkansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 214 out of 305 in 2023-2024, which is concerning and warrants further investigation.
The schools in the Wynne School District serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.55% at Wynne High School to 68.55% at Wynne Primary School. This raises questions about equity in educational opportunities and resources, and the importance of early intervention and support to ensure student success across all grade levels.
