Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, C.B. Partee Elementary consistently underperforms the state average in all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.1% to 41.1% compared to the state averages of 33.8% to 38%. The school has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Arkansas elementary schools for several years and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with over 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In comparison, nearby schools like Des Arc Elementary School and Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School consistently outperform C.B. Partee Elementary, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school go beyond the economic disadvantages of its student population.

The consistent underperformance and lack of significant improvement at C.B. Partee Elementary School, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, indicate that a comprehensive, targeted intervention is needed to address the systemic issues and improve the academic outcomes for the students. The stark contrast in performance between C.B. Partee Elementary and the higher-performing nearby schools suggests that the school's challenges may involve factors such as the quality of instruction, school leadership, and resource allocation, in addition to the high poverty levels of the student population.

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.
