Prescott School District


Summary:

The Prescott School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Prescott Elementary School, Prescott High School, and Prescott Junior High School. The district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all schools and a high-poverty student population.

Prescott High School stands out with a relatively small enrollment of 311 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.7, indicating smaller class sizes. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is quite low compared to state averages, with proficiency rates well below 50% in most subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Prescott Elementary School, the largest in the district with 378 students, has 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population, and test scores that are also quite low, with proficiency rates generally in the 20-30% range, significantly below state averages.

The per-student spending amounts vary considerably across the district, from $7,897 at Prescott Junior High School to $13,298 at Prescott High School. The student-teacher ratios also range from 6.7 at the high school to 15.2 at the elementary school, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation and class size differences that may be contributing factors to the district's overall low academic performance.
