Summary:
The 72046 zip code in Arkansas is home to two schools, England Elementary School and England High School, both part of the England School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a picture of underperforming schools within a struggling school district, with both elementary and high school students performing significantly below state averages in key academic areas.
England Elementary School serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 347 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.4. The school's proficiency rates in 2024-2025 are projected to be 23.6% in ELA, 26.8% in Math, and 22.1% in Science, all well below the state averages. Similarly, England High School, serving grades 7-12 with 279 students and a 10.1 student-teacher ratio, is expected to have proficiency rates of 20.5% in ELA, 26.3% in Math, 30.1% in Science, 12.5% in Algebra, and just 2.7% in Geometry, again significantly lagging behind state performance levels.
The data also reveals that 100% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Additionally, the England School District is ranked 208 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, further highlighting the overall underperformance of the district and its schools. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and above-average spending per student, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students in this community.
