Summary:

The Green Forest School District in Arkansas has one elementary school, Green Forest Elementary School, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 180th and 247th out of hundreds of Arkansas elementary schools in recent years.

Green Forest Elementary School's academic performance on standardized tests has been variable compared to district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades and 3rd grade, but had lower proficiency in Reading, Math, and Science. The previous year, the school outperformed the district and state in ELA, Math, and Science for all grades and 3rd grade, but had lower Reading proficiency. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 82.49% in 2023-2024, and its spending per student was $9,557 in 2018-2019, which is lower than the national average.

Despite these challenges, Green Forest Elementary School maintains a relatively manageable student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1 in 2023-2024, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests the school has some areas of strength, such as its ELA performance, but also faces challenges related to its fluctuating statewide ranking, mixed academic performance, high poverty rates, and relatively low spending per student.
