Summary:
The Booneville School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Booneville Elementary School, Booneville Junior High School, and Booneville High School. The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with all three schools having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the three schools, Booneville High School stands out as a relative bright spot, ranking 62 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Reading proficiency for 10th-grade students and has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.5:1. In contrast, Booneville Junior High School and Booneville Elementary School generally perform below the state averages in most subject areas, with the exception of Algebra at the junior high level.
The data suggests that the Booneville School District as a whole is struggling to meet state academic standards, with significant disparities in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools. This raises concerns about the equitable distribution of resources and the need for the district to closely examine its practices and strategies to address the consistent underperformance and provide a more equitable education for all students.
