Summary:
The Palestine-Wheatley School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 426 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages in Arkansas, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state over the past three years and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others performing below. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high poverty levels, with 99.3% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its below-average per-student spending compared to the state average.
Despite these challenges, the data presents an opportunity for the school and district to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific learning needs of their students. By leveraging data-driven strategies and addressing resource constraints, the school can work to improve educational outcomes and provide a high-quality learning environment for the community it serves.
