Vaughn Elementary

Q: Is Vaughn Elementary a good school?

Vaughn Elementary ranks 105 th of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vaughn Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bentonville, Arkansas, serving 628 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Bentonville School District, which is ranked 8th out of 252 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Vaughn Elementary is part of a highly-ranked school district, its academic performance lags behind some of the top-performing nearby schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Reading, and Mathematics are lower than the Bentonville School District and the state of Arkansas averages across all grades. For example, in 2023-2024, Vaughn Elementary's ELA proficiency rate was 43.5%, compared to 56.4% for the Bentonville School District and 33.8% for the state. Additionally, Vaughn Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 28.18%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Evening Star Elementary (5.5%) and Willowbrook Elementary (6.2%). The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.4, compared to 12.9 at Willowbrook Elementary and 17.3 at Central Park at Morning Star.

The lower test scores and higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Vaughn Elementary suggest that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the specific needs of its student population. Analyzing the challenges and implementing targeted interventions could help Vaughn Elementary improve its academic outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
