Elementary Schools in Berryville School District

The Berryville School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Berryville Elementary School and Berryville Intermediate School. While both schools serve elementary-aged students, the data analysis reveals a clear performance gap between the two, with Berryville Elementary School consistently outperforming its counterpart.

Berryville Elementary School has maintained a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking in the top 20-25% of Arkansas elementary schools. In contrast, Berryville Intermediate School has a lower 2-3 star rating and has seen its statewide ranking decline from the top 60% to the bottom 40% of Arkansas elementary schools in recent years. This decline is reflected in the school's lower proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, which are generally below the district and state averages.

The data also suggests a potential resource allocation imbalance, with Berryville Elementary School spending more per student and having a slightly lower student-teacher ratio compared to Berryville Intermediate School. This raises questions about the equity of resource distribution and whether the district could benefit from a more balanced approach to ensure all students receive the necessary support. Additionally, the higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Berryville Elementary School suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance gap, highlighting the importance of addressing these disparities to provide equal educational opportunities for all students in the Berryville School District.
