Summary:
The Alma School District in Arkansas operates two elementary schools: Alma Intermediate School and Alma Primary School. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and appear to be performing at similar levels, with no clear standout school in the district.
The data shows that proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science at both schools are generally below the state average, indicating room for improvement in academic performance. The Alma School District as a whole also lags behind the state average in most subject areas. Additionally, both schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement.
In terms of funding, Alma Intermediate School spends $7,788 per student, while Alma Primary School spends $8,349 per student, a difference of $561. This may indicate a need to examine the district's funding allocation and ensure equitable distribution of resources across the schools.
