Summary:
The Magnolia School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: East Side Elementary School and Central Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the early grades, the data suggests Central Elementary is the stronger-performing school overall.
Central Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to East Side Elementary's 1-star rating. Central Elementary outperforms East Side Elementary and the district/state averages on key academic metrics like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Additionally, Central Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it may serve a less economically disadvantaged student population.
However, both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting they may have sufficient staffing resources. The Magnolia School District as a whole seems to be underperforming compared to state averages, which could indicate a need for the district to focus on improving educational outcomes for all its students. Further investigation into the specific factors driving the differences between the two schools could provide valuable insights to help the district address any inequities and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
