Nashville Elementary School

Summary:

Nashville Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Nashville School District in Arkansas, with an enrollment of around 400 students. The school has some academic strengths, particularly in mathematics, but also faces challenges in improving its English Language Arts and Reading proficiency.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance in mathematics, where it outperforms the state average across all grade levels, with particularly strong results in the upper grades (5th and 6th). However, the school struggles with English Language Arts and Reading proficiency, where it underperforms the state average in most grade levels. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.25% to 77.11% over the past three years, suggests that it serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges it faces.

Interestingly, the nearby Nashville Junior High School, located just 0.37 miles away, has a higher statewide ranking and rating (4 out of 5 stars) compared to the elementary school (3 out of 5 stars). The junior high school also outperforms the elementary school in several academic areas, such as English Language Arts and Reading proficiency. This suggests an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of best practices between the two schools to address the academic needs of the community.

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.
