Summary

Thirty-Fourth Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, serving grades K-6 with 403 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Arkansas elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.

Thirty-Fourth Street Elementary consistently performs well below the state and Pine Bluff School District averages across all subject areas, with only 8.7% of students proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 38.7% statewide. The school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, significantly higher than the state and district averages, and its spending per student is higher than the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The student-teacher ratio is relatively low, suggesting that other factors, such as teaching quality or curriculum, may be contributing to the poor performance.

In contrast, the nearby schools within the White Hall School District, such as Gandy Elementary and Taylor Elementary, perform significantly better academically, with higher proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger ratings. This highlights the importance of district-level factors, such as leadership, resource allocation, and curriculum, in shaping the academic outcomes of schools.
