Summary:
The 72312 zip code area is home to two schools - Barton Elementary School and Barton High School, both part of the Barton School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a picture of underperforming schools in an economically disadvantaged district.
Neither Barton Elementary nor Barton High School stand out as high-performing institutions. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages across all subject areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. The Barton School District as a whole is ranked 215 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, further highlighting the challenges facing these schools.
The data also reveals that 100% of students at both Barton Elementary and Barton High School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the schools' spending per student is also on the lower side, which may contribute to their struggles to provide adequate resources and support for students.
