Summary:
College Station, Arkansas is home to a single public elementary school, College Station Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Pulaski County Special School District, which is ranked 167 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,653 in the 2018-2019 school year, College Station Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools over the past three years, with rankings ranging from 417 to 473 out of 495-497 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below 30%.
The school faces significant challenges, including a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.2 is lower than the district and state averages, the persistent academic underperformance and the apparent disconnect between spending and outcomes suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at College Station Elementary School.
