Summary:
The city of Tuckerman, Arkansas is home to two schools: Tuckerman Elementary School and Tuckerman High School, both part of the Jackson County School District. While the elementary school has had more mixed performance, Tuckerman High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking among the top 21-35 high schools in Arkansas over the past three school years.
Tuckerman High School's exceptional performance is evident in its strong test scores, which are significantly higher than state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. The school's Mathematics performance is particularly impressive, with 80% of 8th graders and the overall school scoring proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the high school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
In contrast, Tuckerman Elementary School has had a more mixed performance, ranking between 115-280 out of 492-497 Arkansas elementary schools over the past three years. While the school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, they lag behind the district-wide scores in many areas. The elementary school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 99.04%, indicating it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
