Best Public Schools in Zip Code 71822


Summary:

The 71822 zip code area in Arkansas is home to three schools - Ashdown Elementary School, Ashdown High School, and Ashdown Junior High School - all part of the Ashdown School District. While Ashdown Elementary School performs above the state average in some subjects, the high school and junior high school struggle across multiple core subjects, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

Ashdown Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 258 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science, but lags behind in Mathematics, particularly in the upper grades. In contrast, Ashdown High School and Ashdown Junior High School face significant challenges, ranking 228 out of 305 and 225 out of 335 Arkansas schools, respectively, with both earning a 1-star and 2-star rating, respectively. These schools struggle across multiple subjects, including English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology.

A common thread among the three schools is the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 68.59% to 71.38%. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending between the high school and junior high school suggest potential resource disparities that could impact the schools' ability to provide quality education. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and collaborative efforts within the Ashdown School District could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students in this community.
