Summary:
The Kirby School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Kirby Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average across most subject areas and grade levels, with some relative strengths in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Reading.
Kirby Elementary School's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state average for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent over the past few years, with proficiency rates in the 30-40% range across most subjects and grade levels. However, 3rd-grade appears to be a relative strength, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics.
The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at over 106% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a relatively small student population of 216 students. Despite the school's above-average per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, it continues to underperform compared to the state average, suggesting that the school may face systemic challenges in improving student outcomes. Addressing these challenges, particularly in the context of the school's high poverty rate, will be crucial for providing equitable educational opportunities for the students of Kirby School District.
