Augusta Elementary School

Summary:

Augusta Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 185 students in grades PK-6 in Augusta, Arkansas, which is part of the Augusta School District. Over the past 10 years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most of that time period.

Augusta Elementary School significantly underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.8%. The school also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 11.7 over the past 3 years, and spends $15,369 per student, which is higher than the nearby White County Central School District, Riverview School District, and Bald Knob School District schools.

The nearby schools, such as White County Central Elementary, Judsonia Elementary, and H.L. Lubker Elementary, generally outperform Augusta Elementary School in academic proficiency, even though they serve similar demographics. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Augusta Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to this performance gap, such as student poverty and the effective use of resources, will be crucial for improving outcomes at Augusta Elementary School.

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.
