Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School

Summary:

Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School is a public elementary school in Imboden, Arkansas, serving 440 students in grades K-6 as part of the Sloan-Hendrix School District.

While the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.76% to 72.49% over the past three years, its academic performance has been consistently below state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Sloan-Hendrix Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.3%), Reading (31.8%), and Mathematics (42.3%) were all lower than the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, and 36.4%, respectively. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Hillcrest Elementary School, Sloan-Hendrix generally performs worse on standardized tests, with significantly lower proficiency rates across all subjects.

Despite these challenges, Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's spending per student ($8,718 in 2018-2019) is also lower than nearby schools like Hoxie Elementary School ($10,108) and Hillcrest Elementary School ($12,263). The proximity of Sloan-Hendrix to the Imboden Area Charter School, which has even lower test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio, may indicate a need for the district to closely examine the educational opportunities and resources available to students in the Imboden area.

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.
