Summary:
The Cleveland County School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Rison High School and Rison Elementary School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural area.
Rison High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best high schools in the state with a 4-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, Reading, and Biology, exceed the state and district averages. In contrast, Rison Elementary School also performs well, with a 3-star rating and test scores generally on par with or above the state and district averages, but it does not stand out as strongly as the high school.
Both schools face challenges in Mathematics, with scores below the state average in many grade levels. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, suggest that the district may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and allocate resources accordingly. The data also reveals that Rison Elementary School spends significantly more per student than Rison High School, which may indicate a need for additional resources and support at the elementary level.
