Marvell-Elaine High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Arkansas over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 248 to 302 out of 305 high schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years, indicating very poor academic performance.

The persistently low performance of Marvell-Elaine High School, with no signs of improvement over the past decade, suggests that the school faces significant challenges that may be related to its location in a rural, economically disadvantaged area, as well as the overall low ranking of the Marvell-Elaine School District.

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.
