Summary:
The Decatur School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Decatur Northside Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 271 students.
Decatur Northside Elementary is ranked 420 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with only 22.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 21.3% in Mathematics, and 18.8% in Science, compared to state averages of 33.8%, 36.4%, and 35.6%, respectively. The school has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, its per-student spending is above the state average at $11,185, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the state average at 15.1. These factors suggest that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by its students and improve their learning and achievement.
