Summary:
The Texarkana School District in Arkansas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. While the schools share similarities in their high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district.
The standout school in the district is North Heights Community School, which ranks 110 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school significantly outperforms the district and state averages in all subject areas, with over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics. In contrast, College Hill Harmony Leadership Academy and Vera Kilpatrick Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates, often falling below the district and state averages.
Another school that stands out is Fairview Elementary School, which performs better than the district average in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics. This school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes across the Texarkana School District.
