Summary

Marguerite Vann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Conway, Arkansas, with 387 students. While the Conway School District is ranked 79 out of 250 districts in the state, Marguerite Vann consistently underperforms the district and the state of Arkansas in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.8% of Marguerite Vann students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.5% for the district and 34.7% for the state.

Marguerite Vann has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.99% in 2021-2022 to 74.42% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district average. Despite having higher per-student spending than the state average, the school's academic outcomes lag behind both the district and state, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve performance. When comparing Marguerite Vann to other elementary schools in the Conway School District, it is clear that the school is underperforming, with Woodrow Cummins Elementary and Julia Lee Moore Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Marguerite Vann's statewide ranking has dropped from 234 out of 466 Arkansas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 375 out of 495 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance over time. The high free/reduced lunch rate at Marguerite Vann suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which likely contributes to the lower test scores. Overall, Marguerite Vann Elementary School is a struggling school within the Conway School District, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique challenges faced by the school community.
