Best Public Schools in Zip Code 71663


Summary:

There is only one school located in the 71663 zip code, Portland Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has 130 students. The school is part of the Hamburg School District, which is ranked 170 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Portland Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 40% of Arkansas elementary schools over the past 3 years, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, reading, math, and science are all below the district and state averages, indicating widespread academic underperformance across core subject areas. With 70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Portland Elementary serves a high-poverty population, which can present additional challenges for academic achievement.

Despite the low academic performance, Portland Elementary spends $11,547 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school's 15:1 student-teacher ratio is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. However, this has not translated into strong academic results, suggesting that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to this underperformance, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and support for economically disadvantaged students, will be crucial for improving the school's performance.
