Summary:
The Mammoth Spring School District is home to a single elementary school, Mammoth Spring Elementary School, which serves 274 students in grades PK through 6 in a rural Arkansas community.
Mammoth Spring Elementary School is a standout performer in English Language Arts (ELA) and Reading, consistently outpacing the state average. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school's overall proficiency in ELA (47.6%) and Reading (50.0%) significantly exceeded the state averages of 39.4% and 40.4%, respectively. The school has earned a stable 3-star rating for three consecutive years and is ranked in the 66th percentile of Arkansas elementary schools. This strong performance is particularly notable given that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a key indicator of high poverty. The district invests heavily in its students, spending $14,996 per pupil and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, which likely contributes to the school's success.
While the school shows a positive upward trajectory in test scores across all subjects, a critical anomaly exists in the 5th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 5th graders scored below the state average in every subject—ELA, Reading, Math, and Science—a sharp contrast to the strong performance of 3rd, 4th, and 6th graders. This "5th grade slump" is a grade-wide trend that warrants immediate investigation. Math remains a relative weakness compared to ELA and Reading, though the school is showing strong year-over-year improvement in this area, with overall Math proficiency rising from 43.0% to 49.6%.
