The Danville School District in Arkansas is home to a single elementary school, S.C. Tucker Elementary School, which has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, S.C. Tucker Elementary School ranked 30th out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a standout institution within the district and the state.
S.C. Tucker Elementary School's students have consistently outperformed their peers across the Danville School District and the state of Arkansas on standardized tests, such as ATLAS and ACT Aspire. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 49.2% of 4th-grade students at S.C. Tucker Elementary School were proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts, compared to 36% for the state. Similarly, in the 2022-2023 school year, 84% of 4th-grade students at the school were proficient or better in ACT Aspire/English, compared to 63.3% for the state.
Despite the school's strong academic performance, it faces socioeconomic challenges, with 76.13% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's relatively high spending per student ($11,604) and low student-teacher ratio (14.1) suggest that it is effectively allocating resources to support student learning and overcome these challenges.
