Summary:
The Russellville School District in Arkansas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, providing valuable insights for parents and educators.
Sequoyah Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 30 elementary schools in Arkansas and outperforming the district and state averages across all subject areas. In contrast, Crawford Elementary and Dwight Elementary struggle the most, with significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state. The data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in student achievement.
The schools also vary in their free/reduced lunch rates, with Sequoyah Elementary having the lowest rate at 34.49% and Crawford Elementary having the highest at 84.96%. This highlights the potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, which presents opportunities for the district to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the lower-performing schools.
