Summary:
The Marvell-Elaine School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Marvell-Elaine Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school and district have consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking among the lowest in the state.
Marvell-Elaine Elementary School has been a consistently low-performing school, ranking between 424 and 496 out of 495-497 elementary schools in Arkansas over the past three school years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 42.1% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state averages of 34.7%, 35.3%, and 38.7% in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics, respectively. The school's science proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 0% to 21.1% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 38.1%.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $12,462 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.7, the school's academic performance remains consistently low. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes, and that the school and district may require targeted interventions and a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address the underlying issues and provide a quality education to their students.
