Summary:
The El Dorado School District in Arkansas serves students from 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces challenges with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the very high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, Hugh Goodwin Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages in core subjects, ranking 50th out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools. In contrast, the district's other elementary and middle schools struggle to meet state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, suggesting a need to address performance gaps. Yocum Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
At the high school level, El Dorado High School has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 175th out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 90th out of 291 in 2024-2025. The school's performance is close to or slightly below the district and state averages in core subjects. Notably, Barton Junior High School stands out for its exceptional Algebra proficiency rates, with 100% of 8th-grade students meeting or exceeding the standard in recent years.
