Summary:
The Viola School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Viola Elementary School and Viola High School. Based on the available data, Viola Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages on various academic measures.
Viola Elementary School's test scores exceed the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Viola High School has lower rankings and ratings, with a 2-star rating in the past two school years, and its test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Geometry.
While Viola High School has a higher per-student spending ($12,575) compared to Viola Elementary School ($9,935), and a significantly lower student-teacher ratio (3.6 vs. 10.6), these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The data suggests that the district may want to examine the practices and strategies used at the elementary school that contribute to its academic success and consider ways to replicate those approaches at the high school level.
