Summary:
The East Poinsett County School District in Arkansas operates three schools: two elementary schools (Tyronza Elementary and Lepanto Elementary) and one high school (East Poinsett County High School). The district serves a student population facing significant economic challenges, with high free and reduced-price lunch rates across all three schools.
East Poinsett County High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from 156th out of 305 Arkansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 106th out of 295 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in math but below average in other subjects like geometry. In contrast, Tyronza Elementary School stands out for its strong math performance, with 47% of students proficient or better across all grades, compared to the state average of 36.4%.
While Tyronza Elementary and Lepanto Elementary have maintained consistent 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, all three schools in the district struggle with English language arts and science performance, with scores below the state averages. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and curriculum improvements in these subject areas across the East Poinsett County School District.
