Summary

Marguerite Vann Elementary School is a K-4 school in Conway, AR, serving 359 students within the Conway School District. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with a 1-star rating and a state ranking in the 26th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, marking a sharp decline from its 65th percentile ranking just a few years ago. About 71% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among its immediate Conway peers.

Academically, Marguerite Vann is the lowest-performing elementary school in the district across nearly every subject. Its most critical weakness is in mathematics, where only 25.4% of students are proficient—19 percentage points below the state average. This is especially pronounced in 4th grade, where just 20% of students meet math standards. For comparison, nearby Ida Burns Elementary School and Preston & Florence Mattison Elementary School have similar poverty rates but outperform Marguerite Vann in nearly every subject, with Ida Burns achieving a 48.7% math proficiency rate. The school also spends more per student ($12,542) than higher-performing peers like Woodrow Cummins Elementary School ($10,890), suggesting resources may not be effectively targeted toward improving outcomes.

There is a glimmer of hope in 3rd grade reading, where 41.4% of students are proficient—close to the state average. However, this progress is not sustained into 4th grade, where reading proficiency drops to 31.7%. The most dramatic comparison is with Greenbrier Springhill Elementary School, just 7.87 miles away in the top-ranked Greenbrier School District, which is a 5-star school with proficiency rates more than double Marguerite Vann's in every subject. This contrast highlights the need for targeted intervention, particularly in math instruction, to reverse the school's downward trend.
