Summary:
The Gurdon School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Cabe Elementary, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, its performance has been declining over the past three school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 and proficiency rates in core subjects generally lower than the state averages.
Cabe Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 378 out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 335 out of 495 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are below the state averages, with some exceptions in specific grade levels. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.89% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Cabe Elementary's performance continues to lag behind the state averages, indicating that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges it faces and improve outcomes for its students.
