Summary:
The 72638 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning different grade levels: Green Forest Elementary School (PK-3), Green Forest Intermediate School (4-8), and Green Forest High School (9-12). While Green Forest Elementary stands out as a relatively high-performing school, the other schools in the Green Forest School District face performance gaps, declining rankings, and socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
Green Forest Elementary School ranks 180 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several subject areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics. In contrast, Green Forest Intermediate School and Green Forest High School have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past three years, with both schools dropping in their rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the state averages, particularly in subjects like Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at all three schools (ranging from 67.57% to 83.09%) suggest that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions could help the district improve educational outcomes for all students.
