Summary:
The Waldron School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Waldron Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 661 students. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state averages in Arkansas across multiple subject areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.
Waldron Elementary School is ranked 345 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement. The school's proficiency rates on the ACT Aspire assessments are all below the state averages, suggesting that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (74.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of educational resources and support.
Despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student, the school's performance remains below state averages, suggesting that additional resources may not be effectively translating into improved academic achievement. The school and district leadership may need to closely examine the factors contributing to the consistently low performance, such as curriculum, instructional practices, teacher quality, and targeted interventions for struggling students. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, through additional support services and community partnerships, could also be a focus for improvement.
