Summary

Math & Science Magnet School is an elementary school located in Jonesboro, Arkansas that serves grades 1-6. With 516 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.5, the school is part of the Jonesboro School District, which is ranked 183 out of 250 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its magnet school status, Math & Science Magnet School consistently underperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 38.7% statewide. The school's English Language Arts and Reading proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages. As a result, the school's statewide ranking has been consistently low, placing it in the bottom quartile of Arkansas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, other magnet schools in the Jonesboro School District, such as Visual & Performing Art Magnet, Health/Wellness Envi Magnet, and International Studies Magnet, significantly outperform Math & Science Magnet School in terms of test scores and statewide rankings, with proficiency rates that are 10-20 percentage points higher across all subjects. This disparity may be due to the high-poverty student population at Math & Science Magnet School, as well as potential funding and resource disparities compared to the higher-performing magnet schools in the district.
