Summary:
The 72395 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Rivercrest School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 190 out of 252 in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating, the standout school in this set is Rivercrest Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state averages across key metrics.
Rivercrest Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district, despite serving a high-need student population with 100% free/reduced lunch. In contrast, the two secondary schools, Academies At Rivercrest High School and Rivercrest Junior High Prep Academy, have lower statewide rankings and generally underperform the state averages across subject areas.
The data suggests that Rivercrest Elementary School is doing a relatively good job of supporting its students, despite the challenges faced by the broader district. Understanding the school's best practices could provide valuable lessons for other high-need schools. However, the stark contrast in performance between the elementary school and the secondary schools is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to identify the systemic issues that need to be addressed within the Rivercrest School District.
