Summary

Bergman Elementary School in Harrison, AR, serves 474 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the highly-rated Bergman School District, which ranks 17th out of 251 districts in Arkansas. This school has a strong track record of academic excellence, earning a 4 or 5-star rating in 9 of the last 10 years, even while supporting a student population where 65.6% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Bergman Elementary truly stands out as a "math powerhouse," with an extraordinary 70.9% of students proficient in Mathematics—a remarkable 26.8 percentage points higher than the state average. This performance is even more impressive when compared to nearby schools. For instance, Western Grove Elementary in the Ozark Mountain School District achieves only 20.7% math proficiency, highlighting the significant educational advantage Bergman offers. The school also excels in Science, with 58.1% of students proficient, well above the state average of 44% and showing strong improvement from the previous year.

What makes Bergman particularly compelling for parents is its exceptional cost-efficiency. The school spends just $10,650 per student, which is dramatically less than nearby high-achieving schools like Forest Heights Elementary School in the Harrison School District, which spends $16,413 per student. Despite this lower spending, Bergman outperforms many of its peers, including Skyline Heights Elementary School, in every subject. While its state ranking has seen a slight dip recently—from 49th to 79th—its core academic strengths, especially in math and science, remain formidable, making it a model of delivering top-tier results with efficient resource management.
