Summary:
The Horatio School District in Arkansas contains only one elementary school, Horatio Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, its overall academic performance is below the state average, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.
Horatio Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state average, with the exception of 3rd grade performance in these subjects. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.2% in Science to 29% in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 262 out of 497 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 213 out of 495 in 2024-2025.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 83.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the school's per-student spending is in line with the state average, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities. However, the school's relatively strong performance in 3rd grade Mathematics suggests that there may be opportunities to build on this success and improve outcomes in the upper elementary grades.
