Summary:
Drew Central School District has only one elementary school, Drew Central Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 573 students. The school's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average in Arkansas, with its statewide ranking declining from 409 out of 487 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 364 out of 497 in 2023-2024. Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average as well.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicates that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes. The consistently low performance of Drew Central Elementary School suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses not only the school's academic performance but also the socioeconomic and demographic factors that may be contributing to its struggles.
Overall, the data suggests that Drew Central School District is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the district will need to take a comprehensive approach to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
