Summary

McCrory Elementary School in McCrory, AR, is a public school serving 339 students in grades PK through 6, and it is part of the McCrory School District.

McCrory Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance in Mathematics, where 60.2% of students are proficient—far exceeding the state average of 44.1%. This is a remarkable strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Bradford Elementary (22.9% proficient) and Augusta Elementary (22.6% proficient). However, the school struggles in Science, with only 37.2% of students proficient, which is below the state average. This uneven performance suggests a need for focus in science instruction. While McCrory has a history of earning 4 or 5 stars, its state ranking has declined over the past five years, dropping from the 95th percentile to the 57th percentile. Despite this, it remains a higher-performing school than its neighbors, ranking 210th out of 491 schools, compared to Bradford (353rd) and Augusta (450th).

An interesting finding is that McCrory achieves strong results with a per-pupil spending of $12,052, which is much lower than Augusta’s $20,002 per student, yet Augusta is the lowest-performing school in the area. This suggests McCrory uses its resources efficiently. The school also serves a student population where 76.7% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, a lower rate than the 100% at both Bradford and Augusta. For parents, McCrory Elementary offers a strong math program and efficient resource use, but the school’s declining trend and science performance are areas to watch.
