Summary:
The 72419 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Riverside East Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 123 students. The school is part of the Riverside School District, which is ranked 144 out of 250 school districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Riverside East Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, is generally below the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 21.2% in Mathematics to 52% in 6th grade Science, compared to the district averages of 25.2% to 54.4%, and the state averages of 34.7% to 43.1%. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two school years, with some fluctuations in specific grade levels and subject areas.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.24% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and higher per-student spending of $9,866 in the 2018-2019 school year suggest that the district is allocating resources to support the school. Despite these resources, the academic performance data indicates that the school may face challenges in providing effective instruction and support to its students, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
