Boone Park Elementary School

Summary:

Boone Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the North Little Rock School District, which is ranked 192 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boone Park Elementary School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arkansas, with statewide rankings between 444 and 491 out of 487-497 schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Boone Park Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 12.7 and 18.5 over the past three years, which is slightly lower than the district average but still relatively high. Despite spending approximately $14,163 per student, which is higher than the district average, the academic performance at Boone Park Elementary School remains a significant concern.

When comparing Boone Park Elementary School to other nearby schools within the North Little Rock School District, such as Seventh Street Elementary and Ridge Road Elementary, the academic performance gap is evident. These nearby schools, while still underperforming compared to the state, have significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels. Expanding the comparison to schools outside the North Little Rock School District, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. Schools like Forest Park Elementary and Gibbs Magnet Elementary, which are part of the Little Rock School District, consistently outperform Boone Park Elementary School by a wide margin, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Boone Park.

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.
