Summary

Frank Tillery Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Rogers, AR, serving 526 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the high-performing Rogers School District, which ranks in the top 23% of Arkansas schools.

Frank Tillery has experienced a notable decline in its state ranking, dropping from a 4-star rating (78th percentile) in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating (53rd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This downward trend sets it apart from nearby schools like Eastside Elementary School, which has consistently improved to become a top-tier 5-star school (91st percentile) despite having a similar percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (about 60% at both schools). The school's overall scores are dragged down by consistently low performance in 3rd and 4th grades—for example, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 37.3% compared to the district average of 51%, and 4th-grade reading was 34.8% versus the district's 48.5%. However, there is a bright spot: 5th graders achieved a 63.5% proficiency rate in mathematics, significantly higher than the district average (51.2%) and most nearby schools, suggesting a specific instructional strength or a particularly strong cohort in that grade.

Frank Tillery spends $11,121 per student, which is similar to Eastside Elementary ($11,124), yet Eastside achieves far superior results across all subjects—highlighting a potential issue with resource allocation or instructional effectiveness. The school's performance has also been volatile: in 2023-2024, it outperformed the district in English Language Arts (42.7% vs. 41.7%), but just one year later, it fell significantly behind (36.6% vs. 42.8%). This dramatic swing suggests the school may be highly sensitive to changes in student cohorts or curriculum. While Old Wire Elementary School has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (82.33%), its performance is similar to Frank Tillery's, indicating that poverty is not the sole determinant of success and that other school-level factors are at play.
