Summary

Jones Elementary School is a mid-sized school in Rogers, AR, serving 463 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the high-performing Rogers School District, though it currently holds a 3-star rating (57th percentile) after a recent dip from a 4-star rating the previous year.

The most notable feature of Jones Elementary is a sharp performance drop-off after 3rd grade. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders significantly outperformed district averages in every subject—by nearly 9% in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, and almost 9% in Science. However, by 4th and 5th grade, the school falls well below district averages, with 4th graders scoring 11.7% lower in ELA and 17.5% lower in Science. This pattern is unique among nearby schools; for example, Westside Elementary shows the opposite trend, with 5th graders (64.4% proficient in ELA) vastly outperforming their 3rd graders (41.1%). Science is a consistent weakness across all grades at Jones, with overall proficiency (44.7%) falling below the state average—the only subject where this is the case.

Jones is surrounded by several higher-ranked schools, including Eastside Elementary (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Bellview Elementary (86th percentile, 4 stars), making it one of the lower-performing options in its immediate area despite being in a strong district. The school also serves a population with high economic disadvantage (68% free/reduced lunch), compared to just 20% at Bellview. Spending per student ($11,342) is in line with district peers like Northside Elementary ($11,348), but lower than top performers like Bellview ($13,153), suggesting that instructional strategies and socioeconomic factors, rather than funding alone, drive the performance gap.
