Nevada Elementary School

Summary:

Nevada Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rosston, Arkansas, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 230 students. The school is part of the Nevada School District, which is ranked 227 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nevada Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science were all below 30%, compared to the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, 36.4%, and 35.6%, respectively. The school's performance on ACT Aspire tests is also consistently lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.7% to 63.7% across different subjects and grade levels, compared to the state averages of 31.2% to 70.2%. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Comparing Nevada Elementary School to the nearby Wm. Jefferson Clinton Primary School and Prescott Elementary School, which also have low academic performance and high poverty rates, suggests that Nevada Elementary may be one of the lower-performing schools in the region. The school's consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and stagnant proficiency rates over the years indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the poor academic outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
