Summary:
The Jessieville School District in Arkansas operates three schools: Jessieville Elementary School, Jessieville High School, and Jessieville Middle School. The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Jessieville Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Arkansas and maintaining a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores exceed state averages in multiple subjects, with 51% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 54.8% in Reading, 74.1% in Mathematics, and 61.3% in Science.
In contrast, Jessieville High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 73rd out of 295 schools in 2022-2023 to 107th out of 291 schools in 2024-2025. The high school's test scores have also declined in several subjects compared to the state averages. The district's resource allocation and targeted interventions may need to be re-evaluated to address the performance gap between the elementary and high school levels.
