Seventh Street Elementary School

Summary:

Seventh Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in the North Little Rock School District, serving 351 students in grades PK-5. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arkansas, with a statewide ranking between 467-495 out of 485-497 schools over the past 10 years.

Seventh Street Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. In 2023-2024, only 10.2% of Seventh Street students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.8% in the district and 33.8% statewide. The school's math proficiency rate of 9.8% is also far below the district (22.7%) and state (36.4%) averages. Despite these poor academic outcomes, Seventh Street Elementary spends more per student ($14,048) than the nearby Lakewood Elementary ($10,083) and Ridge Road Elementary ($10,742) schools, which significantly outperform it.

The persistent underperformance of Seventh Street Elementary, which serves a 100% free/reduced lunch student population, highlights potential equity issues within the North Little Rock School District and the state of Arkansas. Addressing the root causes of this chronic underperformance, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving educational opportunities and outcomes for the students at Seventh Street Elementary.

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.
