Summary

McCrory Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 307 students in grades K-6 in McCrory, Arkansas, which is part of the McCrory School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels, with 39.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 56% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively.

Despite serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.98% to 78.18%, McCrory Elementary School has maintained a high statewide ranking, placing in the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools for several years. In 2018-2019, the school ranked 22nd out of 488 elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This strong academic performance is likely due to the school's effective teaching practices and curriculum, as well as its commitment to investing in its students, with spending per student at $10,139 in 2018-2019, higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Bradford Elementary School and Augusta Elementary School, both part of the Bradford School District and Augusta School District, respectively, McCrory Elementary School significantly outperforms these schools in academic proficiency across all subjects, highlighting the strength of its educational program and its potential to serve as a model for other schools in the region. However, the school's declining statewide ranking, from 22nd in 2018-2019 to 167th in 2024-2025, suggests the need for the school to continuously evaluate and refine its strategies to maintain its competitive edge and ensure continued academic excellence.
