Summary

Augusta Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Augusta, Arkansas. With 195 students, the school is part of the Augusta School District, which is ranked 222 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,369) than nearby schools, which range from $8,542 to $10,485 per student, Augusta Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 16.2% in English Language Arts, 22.6% in Reading, 23.7% in Mathematics, and 25.8% in Science, compared to the state averages of 34.7%, 35.3%, 38.7%, and 38.1%, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Arkansas elementary schools for the past 10 years, consistently ranking between 332 and 431 out of 466 to 497 schools.

While Augusta Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 11.6 students per teacher over the past 3 years, this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as White County Central Elementary, Kensett Elementary, and McCrory Elementary, generally outperform Augusta Elementary School on state assessments, with proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points higher across subjects. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and community engagement, may be contributing to the school's poor performance.
