Edward D. Trice Elementary School

Summary:

Edward D. Trice Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 476 students in grades K-5 in Texarkana, Arkansas, which is part of the Texarkana School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 141 out of 488 Arkansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to being ranked 354 out of 497 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is concerning, especially when compared to nearby schools like North Heights Community School, which consistently outperforms Edward D. Trice Elementary in test scores and statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Edward D. Trice Elementary, ranging from 99.72% to 100% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 16.6 over the past few years, could be an asset that the school can leverage to provide more individualized attention and support to students. By implementing evidence-based instructional strategies and providing additional resources for economically disadvantaged students, the school may be able to improve its academic outcomes and better serve the Texarkana community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
