Summary:
The 72411 zip code area is home to two schools - Bay Elementary School and Bay High School, both part of the Bay School District. While Bay Elementary School performs above the state average in several academic areas, Bay High School struggles significantly, particularly in Geometry, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in many subjects and grade levels.
Bay Elementary School is ranked 197 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It performs well in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science, with a relatively high percentage of students proficient or better in 3rd and 4th grade subjects compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Bay High School is ranked 213 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 2-star rating, indicating significant academic challenges across multiple areas.
Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools and could be an important consideration in developing strategies for improvement. Additionally, the slightly higher per-student spending at Bay High School compared to Bay Elementary School may suggest a need to examine the allocation of resources within the district to ensure equitable funding and support across the schools.
