Summary:
The city of Rector, Arkansas is home to two schools - Rector Elementary School and Rector High School, both of which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are consistently rated below the state average on key metrics such as standardized test scores and overall school performance.
Rector Elementary School and Rector High School both have a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in Arkansas. The elementary school's statewide rank ranges from 323 to 354 out of around 500 elementary schools, while the high school's rank ranges from 158 to 211 out of around 300 high schools. Both schools perform significantly below the state average on proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
The data also suggests that the Rector school district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with Rector Elementary School having an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 95.85%, and Rector High School also having a high percentage at 66.27%. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, as the schools' performance metrics have remained stagnant or even declined over the past 3 years.
