Jacksonville North Pulaski School District

The Jacksonville North Pulaski School District in Arkansas serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.

The district's schools show a wide range of academic performance, with Bayou Meto Elementary School and Murrell Taylor Elementary School standing out as the top performers, significantly exceeding district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, the middle and high schools struggle, with only 21.3% of 10th graders at Jacksonville High School proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.2%.

Across the district, schools face challenges related to high poverty, with all schools having free and reduced-price lunch rates of 98.62% or higher. Spending per student also varies, from $9,011 at Jacksonville Middle School to $11,198 at Bobby G Lester Elementary School, suggesting potential funding inequities that may contribute to the disparities in academic performance.
