Bentonville School District

Summary:

The Bentonville School District is a high-performing district in Arkansas, with 24 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district as a whole is ranked 10th out of 250 school districts in the state and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out as top performers, including Evening Star Elementary School, Willowbrook Elementary School, and Apple Glen Elementary School, all of which are ranked among the top 13 elementary schools in Arkansas. At the middle school level, J. William Fulbright Junior High School and Washington Junior High School are ranked 4th and 6th in the state, respectively.

However, the data also reveals some disparities within the district. There is a significant gap in test scores and performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, with the percentage of students proficient or better in English ranging from 67.5% at Centerton Gamble Elementary to 89.7% at Thomas Jefferson Elementary. Additionally, schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores, and there is a wide range in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the district.
