Jonesboro School District


Summary:

The Jonesboro School District in Arkansas consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with all schools having 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the Jonesboro schools, the Visual & Performing Art Magnet and the International Studies Magnet stand out as the highest-performing, ranking 168th and 192nd, respectively, out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. These magnet schools significantly outperform the district and state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics. In contrast, the district's lone high school, The Academies At Jonesboro High School, lags behind the district and state in several key subjects, including Geometry and Biology.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the magnet schools and the other schools in the district, suggesting the magnet schools are providing a higher-quality education. Additionally, the consistently high poverty levels across all schools in the district indicate unique challenges and resource needs that the district must address to ensure equitable access to high-quality educational opportunities for all students.
