Timbo Elementary School

Q: Is Timbo Elementary School a good school?

Timbo Elementary School ranks 247 th of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Timbo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Mountain View School District in Timbo, Arkansas, with 129 students. The school has faced significant challenges, ranking between 83rd and 264th out of 466-497 Arkansas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 247th and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Timbo Elementary stands out for its extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 97.67% to 100% over the past 3 years, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels on standardized tests, with only 32.8% of students proficient in ELA compared to 38.2% in the district and 33.8% statewide. While the school's performance has fluctuated significantly over the years, it generally underperforms nearby Calico Rock Elementary and Mountain View Elementary schools, which are also in the Mountain View School District.

However, Timbo Elementary's 6th-grade students perform significantly better than the lower grades, with 60% proficient in ELA, Reading, and Math in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be more effective at serving older elementary students. The school's small size, with only 129 students, may also present challenges in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and providing adequate resources and programming for its students.

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.
