Summary:
There is only one school located in the 72584 zip code area - Izard County Cons. Elementary School, which serves elementary students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in Science. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 98.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present significant challenges in terms of educational outcomes.
Izard County Cons. Elementary School's performance on key metrics is generally below the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.5%), Reading (30.8%), and Mathematics (46.2%) were all lower than the state averages. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,330, which is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this funding is being effectively utilized to improve student performance.
Given the school's consistently low performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve educational outcomes. The Izard County Consolidated School District may need to explore ways to allocate resources more effectively and implement strategies to address the specific needs of the school's student population.
