Summary:

Leverett Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fayetteville, Arkansas, serving 297 students in grades K-4 and part of the Fayetteville School District, which is ranked 24th out of 252 districts in the state.

While Leverett Elementary's test scores are generally above the state average, they lag behind the Fayetteville School District averages across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Leverett's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics were 48.5%, 48.5%, and 38.4%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 46.3%, 46.6%, and 51.2%. Additionally, Leverett has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.2% to 58.97% over the past three school years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Vandergriff Elementary (11.18%) and Root Elementary (13.01%).

Leverett Elementary's lower test scores and higher free and reduced lunch rates compared to the district average and some nearby schools indicate that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population. Strategies such as implementing more personalized learning approaches, providing additional resources and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and collaborating with the community to address any underlying socioeconomic challenges could potentially help improve the school's 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.
