Elementary Schools in Jasper School District

Summary:

The Jasper School District in Arkansas is home to three elementary schools: Jasper Elementary School, Kingston Elementary School, and Oark Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three schools, Jasper Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 147 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in core academic areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Oark Elementary School has struggled academically, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state in most subject areas.

The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation and student demographics among the schools. Oark Elementary School has the highest per-student spending and the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high-poverty student population. These factors may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by high-poverty schools within the Jasper School District.
