Summary:
The Lakeside School Dist(Chicot) in Arkansas contains two elementary schools serving grades K-6: Lakeside Elementary School and Eudora Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two institutions.
Eudora Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 114 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Lakeside Elementary School ranks 440 out of 497 schools with a 1-star rating. Eudora's students significantly outperform Lakeside's in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates nearly 20 percentage points higher. Additionally, Eudora boasts a much lower student-teacher ratio of 7:1 compared to Lakeside's 13.5:1, potentially contributing to its stronger academic outcomes.
While both schools serve a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the data suggests that Lakeside School Dist(Chicot) must closely examine its practices and resource allocation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their school. The stark contrast in performance between the two institutions within the same district highlights the need for the district to address this disparity and implement strategies to support the academic success of all its students.
