Elementary Schools in Bentonville School District

Summary:

The Bentonville School District in Arkansas is home to 13 exceptional elementary schools serving grades K-4, with student populations ranging from 389 to 791. The district as a whole is ranked 2 out of 250 districts in the state and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is an exceptional performer.

Several schools within the Bentonville district stand out as top performers, including Evening Star Elementary School, Elm Tree Elementary School, Apple Glen Elementary School, and Willowbrook Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with proficiency rates 20-40 percentage points higher than the state average across all subjects and grade levels.

While the Bentonville School District as a whole outperforms the state, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the top-tier schools and the lower-performing ones within the district. This suggests there may be opportunities to learn from the best practices of the top schools and apply them more broadly. Additionally, socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, appear to play a significant role in academic achievement, with the schools with the lowest poverty rates tending to be the highest performers.
