Summary:
The East Poinsett County School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Tyronza Elementary School and Lepanto Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and face similar socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Tyronza Elementary School stands out for its strong performance, ranking 234 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several test score categories, particularly in mathematics. However, the school underperforms in 6th-grade English Language Arts and Reading, indicating room for improvement. In contrast, Lepanto Elementary School spends more per student ($11,675 in 2018-2019) compared to Tyronza Elementary School ($10,124 in 2018-2019), which may contribute to its slightly higher ranking of 192 out of 488 Arkansas elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year.
Despite the differences in performance and spending, both Tyronza Elementary School and Lepanto Elementary School have maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively stable level of performance. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools suggest that the schools may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student achievement, and addressing these challenges could be a key focus for the East Poinsett County School District.
