White County Central School District

The White County Central School District consists of two schools - White County Central Elementary School and White County Central High School. The elementary school outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics, and is ranked 88 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. In contrast, the high school lags behind in some subject areas compared to the district and state, but outperforms in Mathematics.

The elementary school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the high school has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 9.6, suggesting a potential focus on resource allocation at the secondary level. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school indicates a greater concentration of students from lower-income households, which could be a factor in the performance differences between the two schools.

The standout performance of the elementary school, coupled with the potential areas for improvement at the high school level, present opportunities for the district to analyze and address the factors contributing to these differences.
