Marguerite Vann Elementary School

Summary:

Marguerite Vann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Conway, Arkansas, with 397 students. While the Conway School District is ranked 42 out of 252 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, Marguerite Vann Elementary has faced some challenges in recent years.

Marguerite Vann Elementary has lower proficiency rates compared to the Conway School District and the state of Arkansas across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.2% of Marguerite Vann students were proficient in math, compared to 40.2% in the district and 36.4% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.99% to 73.43% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Conway School District, such as Woodrow Cummins and Julia Lee Moore, Marguerite Vann generally performs worse on test scores, with lower proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped from 234 out of 466 Arkansas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 319 out of 497 in 2023-2024, with its star rating declining from 3 to 2 over this period, indicating a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

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.
