Best Public Schools in Zip Code 72206

Summary:

The 72206 zip code area of Arkansas is home to 11 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across three different school districts. While the schools in this area share a geographic location, their academic performance varies significantly, highlighting the complex factors that contribute to student success.

At the top of the pack are East End Elementary School and East End Intermediate School from the Sheridan School District, which boast the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to their peers. In contrast, Mills Middle School and Mills University Studies High School from the Pulaski County Special School District have the lowest proficiency rates and rankings among the middle and high schools in the data set.

The data also reveals a clear correlation between high free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, with schools like Landmark Elementary struggling the most. Additionally, the Ivy Hill Preparatory Academy, a public charter school, has some of the lowest proficiency rates in the area. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and address the disparities observed within this zip code.
