Summary

Calico Rock Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 185 students in grades K-6 in Calico Rock, Arkansas. The school is part of the Calico Rock School District, which is ranked 71 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Calico Rock Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 11.7 students per teacher over the past few years. This is lower than the state average and suggests that the school may have more resources available for individual student attention and support. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.61% to 98.38% over the past few years, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby schools, such as Timbo Elementary School, Izard County Cons. Elementary School, and Melbourne Elementary School, which generally perform better on standardized tests and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's spending per student was $10,241 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average and may indicate a focus on providing resources and support for the students. Continued efforts to identify and address the specific needs of the Calico Rock Elementary School community, potentially through targeted interventions and partnerships, may be necessary to improve student outcomes and close the performance gap with nearby schools.

Constant bullying allowed at this school with no consequences to students. The teachers here are allowed to do pretty much what they want to a student and nothing is done about it. I do not recommending this school to anyone. Close Quote
