Summary:

Angie Grant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Benton, Arkansas, serving 527 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Benton School District, which is ranked 73 out of 252 school districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Angie Grant Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 288 and 425 out of 488-497 Arkansas elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.8% to 64.14% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Caldwell Elementary School and Perrin Elementary School, which are also part of the Benton School District, significantly outperform Angie Grant Elementary School in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates, higher statewide rankings, and lower free and reduced lunch rates. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Angie Grant Elementary School's academic performance suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resources, and support systems to identify and address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
