Summary:
The city of Rose Bud, Arkansas, is served by the Rose Bud School District, which includes two public schools—Rose Bud Elementary School (Pre-K through 6th grade) and Rose Bud High School (7th through 12th grade)—and holds a strong 4-star rating, ranking 69th out of 251 districts in Arkansas.
Rose Bud High School stands out as the district’s top performer, particularly in mathematics, where its overall proficiency rate of 56.4% significantly exceeds the state average of 44.1%. The high school has shown impressive improvement, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star rating in recent years, and it benefits from a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 4.4:1, which supports personalized learning. However, a notable "Geometry Gap" exists: while Algebra proficiency soars at 64.2% (nearly double the state average), Geometry proficiency plummets to just 5.2%, a critical area for improvement. In contrast, Rose Bud Elementary School provides a consistent, 3-star foundation, excelling in early grades with 3rd-grade math at 58.9% and 6th-grade science at 60%, both well above state averages. The elementary school’s strong performance in these subjects suggests it effectively prepares students for high school success.
Key metrics reveal a resource disparity: the high school spends $14,725 per student with a 4.4:1 ratio, while the elementary school spends $12,305 with a 15.4:1 ratio, correlating with the high school’s higher ranking. Despite academic strengths, the high school’s graduation rate of 88.6% falls below the state average of 90.1%, indicating a need to support at-risk students. Overall, the district offers a solid educational experience, with the high school excelling in math and the elementary school building a strong academic base, though attention to Geometry and graduation rates could further enhance outcomes.
