Lead Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Lead Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 187 students in grades K-6 in Lead Hill, Arkansas, which is part of the Lead Hill School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in ATLAS and ACT Aspire tests, is generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (22%), Reading (22%), and Mathematics (31%) are significantly below the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, and 36.4%, respectively. Compared to nearby schools like Flippin Elementary School, Bergman Elementary School, and Valley Springs Elementary School, Lead Hill Elementary School's performance is also lower. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 128 out of 485 Arkansas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 341 out of 497 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating).

Lead Hill Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which is higher than the ratios of some nearby schools, and its per-student spending of $11,802 in 2018-2019 is higher than the spending of some nearby schools. However, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.4% to 100% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the free and reduced lunch rates of nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school is struggling to maintain academic excellence and may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and strategies to better support student learning and achievement.

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.
