Summary

Health Wellness & Environmental Studies Magnet is a public elementary magnet school in Jonesboro, AR, serving 633 students in grades 1-6 within the Jonesboro School District.

This school has a unique academic profile. While it has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Arkansas elementary schools over the past decade, it shows a notable strength in mathematics. In the most recent school year, 40.8% of students were proficient in math, which is above the district average of 35%. This is especially true for 3rd graders, where 53% were proficient in math—outperforming both the district and state averages. However, the school struggles more in English Language Arts and reading. It is important to note that the school serves a 100% economically disadvantaged student population, and its performance contrasts sharply with nearby Valley View Intermediate School (in the Valley View School District), where 63% of students are proficient in math and 59.9% in English Language Arts.

Within the Jonesboro district, this magnet school sits in the middle of the pack. It significantly outperforms the Leadership Magnet School but is dramatically outperformed by the Visual & Performing Arts Magnet and the International Studies Magnet. This suggests that the specific magnet theme and its implementation matter greatly for student success. The school's per-student spending of $11,391 is lower than some district peers, indicating that higher spending does not automatically lead to higher performance. Overall, the school has shown a slight upward trend over the last decade but has not yet found a formula for sustained, significant academic improvement.
