Within the district, a few schools stand out in performance. Bobby G Lester Elementary School ranks the highest in the district at 390 out of 497 elementary schools in Arkansas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars. It has significantly higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the district and state averages. Bayou Meto Elementary School also performs well, ranking 349 out of 497 elementary schools and earning a 2 out of 5 star rating.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. Proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels are generally low compared to state averages, with the high school's proficiency rates in Algebra, Geometry, and Biology all below 10%. All schools in the district have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Spending per student is also relatively low, ranging from $9,011 to $11,198 per student. These factors suggest the district is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students and may need targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
