Summary:
The Mt. Vernon/Enola School District in Arkansas is home to a single elementary school, Mt. Vernon/Enola Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 144th out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 258th out of 495 in 2024-2025.
While the school's Mathematics (40%) and Science (38.6%) proficiency rates are higher than the district (41.9% and 38.1%) and state (38.7% and 38.1%) averages, its English Language Arts (32%) and Reading (32.7%) proficiency rates are slightly below the district (37.1% and 35.4%) and state (34.7% and 35.3%) averages. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (80.58% in 2023-2024) indicates a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending ($9,447 in 2018-2019) and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio (15.1 to 1 in 2023-2024), its academic performance is still lagging behind the state average in some areas. This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to examine its instructional practices and resource allocation to better support student learning and improve its overall performance.
