Summary

Western Yell County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Belleville, Arkansas, serving 139 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Western Yell County School District, which is ranked 201 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data suggests that Western Yell County Elementary School is struggling academically, with consistently low test scores and rankings compared to the state and nearby schools like London Elementary, Scranton Elementary, Dardanelle Intermediate, Dardanelle Primary, and S.C. Tucker Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages. Additionally, the school has consistently received a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The high poverty level of the student population, as indicated by the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, its spending per student is higher than some of the nearby schools. The school's declining performance over the years is also a concern, and the Western Yell County School District's low ranking and rating indicate broader systemic issues that need to be addressed. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the school's academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
