McCrory School District

The McCrory School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: McCrory Elementary School and McCrory High School. Based on the available data, McCrory Elementary School appears to be the stronger performer, consistently ranking higher than the state average on various standardized tests and placing in the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools in recent years.

In contrast, McCrory High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 25% of Arkansas high schools to the bottom 50% in the most recent school year. The high school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Geometry. This suggests that the high school may be facing challenges in meeting academic standards and serving its students effectively.

The data also reveals a significant difference in free and reduced lunch rates between the elementary and high school, with the elementary school having a higher percentage of students receiving this assistance. This may suggest socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student performance at the high school level. Additionally, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes, indicating a need for further investigation into how resources are being allocated and utilized within the district.
