Judsonia Elementary School

Summary:

Judsonia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 304 students in grades K-6 in the Riverview School District in Judsonia, Arkansas. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, a closer look reveals some key insights about its performance and challenges.

Judsonia Elementary lags behind state and district averages in academic achievement, with only 28.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 22.5% proficient in math, well below the state averages of 33.8% and 36.4%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 75.33%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite higher-than-average per-pupil spending, the school's performance continues to decline, with its statewide ranking dropping from 228 out of 471 schools in 2013-2014 to its current rank of 332 out of 497 schools.

Interestingly, Judsonia's performance is generally lower than that of other nearby elementary schools, such as Kensett Elementary (also in the Riverview district) and the higher-performing schools in the Searcy and White County Central districts. For example, Westside Elementary in Searcy had 55% of students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to Judsonia's 28.1%. Additionally, Judsonia's test scores show significant variation in performance across grade levels, indicating a lack of consistent, high-quality instruction throughout the elementary grades.

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.
