Elementary Schools in Gentry School District

The Gentry School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Gentry Intermediate School and Gentry Primary School. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and are part of a district that is ranked 86 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gentry Intermediate School generally outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. However, 5th-grade proficiency rates at the school are lower than the district and state averages in several subjects, indicating a potential need to examine instructional practices and support systems to ensure consistent academic growth throughout the elementary grades. Both Gentry Intermediate School and Gentry Primary School have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

The Gentry School District appears to be allocating resources effectively, with both schools having relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average per-student spending. This suggests a focus on supporting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized instruction. Overall, the data indicates that the elementary schools in the Gentry School District are performing reasonably well, with some areas for potential improvement, particularly in maintaining consistent academic growth across grade levels and supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
