Summary:
The 72364 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Marion School District. While the district is ranked 226 out of 250 in Arkansas and has a 0-star rating, some schools stand out in performance.
Marion Seventh Grade Academy, the middle school, has the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics (25.6%) and Science (20%) compared to other schools, as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1. Meanwhile, Herbert Carter Global Community Magnet School, an elementary school, has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.3%) and Reading (29.9%) among the elementary schools, and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (67.42%).
However, the overall academic performance in the 72364 zip code area is below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 20-30% across subjects, while the state averages are often in the 30-40% range. The schools also face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.42% to 84.67%. The data suggests a trend of declining performance over the past two school years, and the schools in this area may benefit from additional resources and support to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
