Summary:
The Estem Public Charter School district in Arkansas operates two elementary schools: Estem Elementary School and Estem East Village Elementary Public Charter School. Both schools serve students in elementary grades and are located in the same district.
Based on the data analysis, neither Estem Elementary School nor Estem East Village Elementary Public Charter School are performing at a high level compared to the state averages. Both schools consistently score below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. The most significant gap is in Mathematics, where both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average.
Additionally, both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced lunch rates of 75% and 72.93%, respectively. Despite the higher spending per student at Estem East Village Elementary Public Charter School, the school's performance is still lagging behind the state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The Estem Public Charter School district as a whole may need to address systemic issues and equity concerns to provide a high-quality education for its students.
