Summary

Fulbright Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood of Little Rock, AR, serving 485 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and part of the Little Rock School District.

Fulbright stands out as a stable, above-average performer in a local landscape of extremes. While nearby schools like Jefferson Elementary and Baker Elementary rank in the 97th and 99th percentiles, and others like McDermott Elementary and Terry Elementary rank in the 5th and 25th percentiles, Fulbright consistently lands in the 68th percentile statewide. This makes it a reliable "middle ground" option that delivers strong results without the extreme selectivity or challenges of its peers. Notably, Fulbright outperforms nearby charter schools like Lisa Academy West Elementary and Founders Classical Academies Of Ark West Little Rock Elementary, offering a superior educational product for families in the area.

One area of interest is a consistent dip in 4th-grade test scores across all subjects, which then recover somewhat in 5th grade. This "4th-grade slump" is worth investigating with the school. Additionally, Fulbright spends more per student ($17,042) than top-performing peers like Jefferson ($15,785) and Baker ($12,445), but less than lower-performing schools like McDermott ($20,488) and Terry ($18,106). This suggests Fulbright uses its resources effectively to achieve above-average results for a moderately diverse student body, where just over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What people are saying

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Fulbright regularly reports high scores on standardized tests, but this is more the result of the school's demographics than the quality of education.
The open pod design that forces the students to hear four teachers all talking at the same time is chaotic and creates a poor learning environment.
As with most of the public schools in this area, the main focus is on getting the worst students up to a minimum standard. This leaves the brighter students unchallenged and bored. Close Quote
