Summary:
The Junction City Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the Junction City School District located in Arkansas. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it consistently underperforms compared to state averages in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics.
Junction City Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 333 out of 492 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 378 out of 487 in 2021-2022, with a current ranking of 352 out of 497 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in these core subjects are all below the state averages, with the exception of Science, where the school's performance is slightly better. Additionally, the school district's overall ranking is 196 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.05% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $11,178 in the 2018-2019 school year, the school's performance remains below state averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district.
