Summary:
The Carlisle School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Carlisle Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 308 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 361 out of 495 in 2024-2025, and it has consistently maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Carlisle Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages for Arkansas, with the largest gaps in Mathematics and Science. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.62% in 2023-2024, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state averages, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.
The analysis of the Carlisle Elementary School data suggests that the Carlisle School District may need to re-evaluate its strategies and allocate resources more effectively to support student success. The district should focus on providing additional resources and support to address the equity concerns and improve the overall academic performance of the school.
