Summary:
The Mulberry/Pleasant View Bi-County Schools district in Arkansas contains one elementary school, Marvin Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its overall performance and ranking within the state are not particularly strong.
Marvin Primary School is ranked 344 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 4th grade. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, at 126.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,222 for the 2018-2019 school year, Marvin Primary School's performance has been declining, dropping from a ranking of 247 out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 344 out of 495 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the resources allocated to the school may not be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes, and the school may need to explore ways to better utilize its resources to support student success.
