Summary:

The Forrest City School District in Arkansas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces significant academic challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

Among the standout schools, Stewart Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with proficiency rates closer to the state averages in several subjects.

Understanding the factors that contribute to the variations in performance could provide valuable insights for improving the overall academic outcomes in the Forrest City School District.
