Elementary Schools in Mountain Home School District

Summary:

The Mountain Home School District in Arkansas is home to three elementary schools: Hackler Intermediate School, Nelson Wilks Herron Elementary, and Mountain Home Kindergarten. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the Mountain Home area.

Among the three schools, Hackler Intermediate School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 36% of Arkansas elementary schools. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Additionally, Hackler Intermediate School has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (49.83%) and spends the least per student ($7,662) compared to the other two schools.

In contrast, Mountain Home Kindergarten has the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (63.03%) and spends the most per student ($10,368), which is significantly higher than the other schools. However, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, the lowest among the three. The lack of historical performance data for Nelson Wilks Herron Elementary makes it difficult to assess its academic standing within the district.
