Summary:
The 72118 zip code area of North Little Rock, Arkansas is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools include Crystal Hill Elementary, Amboy Elementary School, Oak Grove Elementary School, and Friendship Aspire Academy North Little Rock Elementary. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance and resources across these schools, with Crystal Hill Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the area.
Crystal Hill Elementary ranks 326 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools and has the highest test scores in English Language Arts, Reading, and Science compared to the other schools. In contrast, Friendship Aspire Academy North Little Rock Elementary has the lowest percentage of students proficient in these subjects, but performs better in Mathematics. The other two schools, Amboy Elementary School and Oak Grove Elementary School, struggle to meet state and district averages across all subject areas.
The high poverty levels, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that these schools serve economically disadvantaged communities. This, coupled with the varying levels of resources and support available to the schools, as evidenced by the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, may contribute to the stark performance gaps observed. These findings raise concerns about educational equity and the ability of these schools to provide equal opportunities for all students in the 72118 zip code area.
