Summary:
The England School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, England Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has access to above-average funding and resources, including a low student-teacher ratio, its performance has been declining in recent years compared to other elementary schools in the state.
England Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 258 out of 492 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 347 out of 497 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics has generally been below the state average in Arkansas. Additionally, the school's ACT Aspire test results have been mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others performing below.
Despite the school's challenges, it serves a high-poverty population, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending is above the state average, and the low student-teacher ratio suggests that the school has the resources to address the unique needs of its students. However, the data indicates that the school may need to focus on improving student learning and achievement in core academic areas to reverse the declining performance trend and better serve the community.
