Summary:
Schools in zip code 42064 include three schools in Crittenden County, serving grades PK–12 and enrolling 1,272 students across elementary, middle and high school. Across the 26 reported subject-grade results, school scores averaged about 42%, essentially matching the state average; that near-even overall picture hides a 6-point advantage in science and a 4-point shortfall in both writing and editing and mechanics. The most important takeaway is that results are near the state level overall, but vary considerably by subject and school.
Crittenden County High School stands out overall: its six 2025–2026 results averaged 3 points above grade-matched state results, with scores above the state in four subjects and below in two. The middle school averaged 1 point below the state, but had the widest swings: seventh-grade science was 40% versus 28% statewide, while eighth-grade writing was 31% versus 48%. Crittenden County Elementary School also averaged 1 point below the state, with a notable fourth-grade reading score of 58% versus 50%; its fourth-grade science was 11 points above the state, while fifth-grade editing and mechanics was 13 points below.
Recent results show different school trajectories: elementary’s average gap improved from 5 points below the state in 2024–2025 to about 1 point below in 2025–2026; the middle school shifted from 6 points above to 1 point below; and the high school remained above, moving from 4 points above to 3. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings were the 61st percentile for the high school and the 48th for both other schools; over three years, the middle school fell 28 percentile points, while the high school gained 12 and elementary gained 4. The middle school has the lowest student–teacher ratio at 13.8, compared with 14.2 at elementary and 16.5 at high school. Free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 were 63% at elementary, 60% at middle and 54% at high school. These measures describe different school levels and do not explain test results.
