Summary:
The Mountain Pine School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Mountain Pine Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data suggests it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, with consistently low proficiency rates across all tested subject areas compared to the state average.
Mountain Pine Elementary School is ranked 434 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all significantly below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in ATLAS/English Language Arts was 14.2%, compared to the state average of 34.7%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 106.56% in 2023-2024, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite having higher per-student spending than the state average, the school is not seeing commensurate improvements in student outcomes. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance. The consistently low academic performance and high poverty rates at Mountain Pine Elementary School indicate that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges it faces, such as professional development for teachers, additional academic and social-emotional support for students, and collaboration with community partners.
