Summary

Magazine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 290 students in grades PK-6 in Magazine, Arkansas, which is part of the Magazine School District. The school generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, with 42.9% and 47.6% of students proficient or better in those subjects, respectively, compared to the state averages of 34.7% and 38.1%.

However, Magazine Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.83% to 76.21% over the past few years, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's performance on the SchoolDigger ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 90th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 267th out of 488 in 2018-2019, indicating some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. When compared to nearby schools, such as Charleston Elementary, County Line Elementary, Paris Elementary, and Booneville Elementary, Magazine Elementary School generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in ELA and Science.

Overall, Magazine Elementary School appears to be performing relatively well academically, but the school's fluctuating performance and high poverty rates suggest that it may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and providing the necessary support for its economically disadvantaged student population. Continued focus on targeted interventions and support for these students could help the school improve its performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
