Summary:
The 72110 zip code area in South Conway County, Arkansas is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the South Conway County School District. While the district is ranked 94 out of 250 in the state and rated 3 stars, a few schools in the area stand out for their academic performance.
Morrilton Junior High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Arkansas middle schools and maintains a 4-star rating, indicating strong academic achievement. In contrast, Morrilton Senior High School has shown mixed performance, ranking as high as 77 out of 295 Arkansas high schools but dropping to 108 out of 305 in the most recent year, though it still maintains a 3-star rating. The elementary and intermediate schools in the area, Morrilton Intermediate School, Morrilton Primary School, and Morrilton Elementary School, generally perform at or below the district and state averages in core subject areas.
A notable characteristic of the schools in the 72110 zip code is the extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 99.71% to 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area. While per-student spending varies across the schools, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending and academic performance, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may play a significant role in driving student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes, particularly at the elementary and intermediate school levels, in this economically disadvantaged area.
