Poyen School District


Summary:

The Poyen School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Poyen Elementary School and Poyen High School. Based on the available data, Poyen Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Poyen Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, with students consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, 63.3% of Poyen Elementary students were proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics, compared to 60.1% for the district and 36.4% for the state. The school's ACT Aspire test scores also exceed the district and state averages in key subjects.

In contrast, Poyen High School's performance appears to be more mixed, with some subject areas, such as Geometry, showing significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average. Additionally, the high school spends more per student ($9,157) than the elementary school ($7,814), which may suggest a difference in resource allocation or prioritization between the two schools. Both schools, however, serve a significant percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 49% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.
