Summary

Guy-Perkins Elementary School is a small, rural school in Guy, AR, serving 247 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade within the Guy Perkins School District.

This school stands out for its exceptionally high level of economic disadvantage, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a rate far higher than most nearby schools. To address this, the district invests heavily, spending over $17,000 per student, which is nearly $7,000 more than the high-performing Greenbrier School District schools. It also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, allowing for more individualized attention. While overall test scores are below state averages, the school shows a notable strength in Reading and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates (40.4% and 44.7%) actually meet or exceed the state average. However, Mathematics is a significant challenge, with only 29.8% of students proficient, compared to the state average of 44.1%.

The contrast with nearby Greenbrier schools, like Greenbrier Wooster Elementary and Greenbrier Springhill Elementary School, is striking. Those schools, with much lower poverty rates (around 45%), consistently rank in the top 10% of the state and have test scores that are often double or triple those of Guy-Perkins. This comparison highlights how profoundly community wealth can impact school performance metrics. For parents, Guy-Perkins is a high-need, high-investment school working diligently to support its students, with pockets of success in literacy but facing an uphill battle in math due to the challenges associated with a 92% poverty rate.
