Summary:
The Kirby School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Kirby Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's overall academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.
Kirby Elementary School's performance on ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments is below the state average for all grades. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others performing below. The school's overall state-wide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 231 out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 307 out of 487 in 2021-2022.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100% in 2022-2023). While the school's student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending is slightly higher, these factors have not translated into consistently strong academic performance. The school's inconsistent performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of the students.
