Summary:
The Calico Rock School District in Arkansas is home to a single elementary school, Calico Rock Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 212 out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 239 out of 495 in 2024-2025.
Calico Rock Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Science are generally higher than the district and state, its proficiency in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics are below average for most grade levels. The school's overall performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger rating, is 3 out of 5 stars, which is the same as the district's rating.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high per-student spending of $10,241 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1. However, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantage, with 98.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. School leaders and policymakers should focus on developing targeted strategies to address the school's academic weaknesses and support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
