Summary

Judsonia Elementary School in Judsonia, AR, serves 307 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade within the Riverview School District, a community where 77.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a 2-star rating (32nd percentile) on Schooldigger, reflecting academic performance that is below the state average in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science, though it has shown slight improvement from a 1-star status in recent years.

A notable bright spot is the consistent strength of 4th-grade students, who have outperformed the state average in Reading and Science for two consecutive years—a pattern that stands out against weaker scores in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. This suggests a potential "leak" in learning between 4th and 5th grade that the school may need to address. Math is a relative strength, with scores rising from 22.5% to 37.7% over three years, though it still trails the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Judsonia spends more per student ($13,533) than higher-performing peers like White County Central Elementary School ($11,413) and Pangburn Elementary School ($12,688), yet its academic outcomes remain lower, indicating that funding alone isn't the solution.

Within its district, Judsonia outperforms Kensett Elementary School, which has a higher poverty rate (90.14%) and lower rankings. However, it is surrounded by schools from higher-performing districts, such as Westside Elementary School (90th percentile) in the Searcy School District. Judsonia’s performance is most comparable to Sidney Deener Elementary School, which has a similar poverty rate (78.38%) and test scores, highlighting the strong link between economic challenges and academic outcomes in this region.
