Summary:
The Cutter-Morning Star School District in Arkansas operates two schools: Cutter-Morning Star Elementary School and Cutter-Morning Star High School. Both schools are performing well below state averages on standardized tests, with particularly low proficiency rates in math and science. The district serves a high-need student population, with free/reduced lunch rates over 65% at both the elementary and high school levels.
The elementary school has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 253-313 out of around 500 Arkansas elementary schools over the past 3 years. Its test scores are generally below the state averages, and the school spends around $8,700 per student, which is below the state average. The high student-teacher ratio of 16.6 may also contribute to the school's academic struggles.
The high school also has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 201-233 out of around 300 Arkansas high schools over the past 3 years. Its test scores are significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with some extremely low proficiency rates. The high school spends around $9,400 per student, which is slightly above the elementary school but still below the state average. However, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.9, indicating smaller class sizes.
