Summary:
The Riverview School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Judsonia Elementary School and Kensett Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and face significant challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.
Neither Judsonia Elementary nor Kensett Elementary stand out as high-performing schools, as both rank in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools according to the SchoolDigger rankings. The schools struggle to meet state benchmarks in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. Judsonia Elementary has slightly higher proficiency rates than Kensett Elementary in most subject areas, but the district-wide performance is below the state averages, indicating systemic challenges.
The data suggests that the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Kensett Elementary at 97.59% and Judsonia Elementary at 84.51%, may be a significant factor in the schools' academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the schools have relatively high student-teacher ratios, which may limit the individual attention and support that students receive. The Riverview School District may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
