Summary:
The Barton School District in Arkansas operates two schools: Barton Elementary School and Barton High School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on academic measures, with low proficiency rates in core subjects across all grade levels.
Neither Barton Elementary School nor Barton High School stand out as high-performing schools in the district. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and have a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages for both schools.
The data also reveals that 100% of students at both Barton Elementary School and Barton High School qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, and per-student spending is relatively high, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as resource allocation and effective interventions, will be crucial for the Barton School District to improve student performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
