Summary

Booneville Elementary School in Booneville, AR, serves 791 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade in the Booneville School District, a community where all students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting high economic need.

Booneville Elementary has shown a remarkable turnaround, achieving its highest state ranking in years (49th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. The school's standout strength is science, where 52.1% of students are proficient—significantly above the state average (44%) and outperforming nearby schools like Paris Elementary (42%) and Lavaca Elementary. This represents a 20-percentage-point jump from the previous year. However, the school faces challenges with larger class sizes (19.4 students per teacher) compared to peers like Mansfield Elementary (13.0) and Magazine Elementary (13.6). A notable weakness is a "4th grade slump," where students score well below the state average in English Language Arts (26.6% vs. 41.4%) and Reading (26.5% vs. 40.9%).

Despite high poverty, Booneville's recent science success rivals that of County Line Elementary (58% proficiency), another high-need school. In contrast, the nearby East Pointe Elementary in the Greenwood School District outperforms Booneville in all subjects, likely due to lower poverty rates (32% vs. 100% free/reduced lunch). Booneville's spending per student ($11,493) is moderate, suggesting that recent gains may stem from effective programs rather than higher funding. This school demonstrates that high-need populations can achieve strong results in specific areas, making it a school to watch for continued improvement.
