England Elementary School

Q: Is England Elementary School a good school?

England Elementary School ranks 347 th of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

England Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 360 students in grades PK-6 in England, AR. The school is part of the England School District, which is ranked 186 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, England Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 347 out of 497 schools and a 2-star rating.

The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 30% in English Language Arts, 27.3% in Reading, 31.5% in Mathematics, and 23.7% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, 36.4%, and 35.6%, respectively. Additionally, England Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 50-98% free/reduced lunch.

While England Elementary spends more per student ($10,023) than some nearby schools, such as Lonoke Primary ($8,753) and Lonoke Elementary ($8,209), it performs significantly worse. The nearby Moody Elementary and Daisy Bates Elementary schools, which serve similar high-poverty populations, outperform England Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be contributing to the performance gap.

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.
