Summary:
The Bald Knob School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: H.L. Lubker Elementary School, Bald Knob High School, and Bald Knob Middle School. While H.L. Lubker Elementary stands out as the strongest performer in the district, the overall academic performance across the district lags behind state averages, indicating a need for improvement.
H.L. Lubker Elementary School has the highest enrollment in the district and the highest proficiency rates in ATLAS/Mathematics and ATLAS/Science compared to the district and state. However, its proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts and ATLAS/Reading are below the state average. In contrast, Bald Knob High School struggles the most, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in several subjects, particularly in mathematics.
The district as a whole faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high free and reduced lunch rates across all schools, suggesting a large population of economically disadvantaged students. This factor may be contributing to the lower academic performance observed in the district. To improve outcomes, the district could focus on targeted interventions and support programs, particularly in the areas of mathematics and reading/English language arts, while also addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success.
