Summary

Thomas C Brunson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Warren School District, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 193 students. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, the school consistently outperforms the district average in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Reading.

In 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 48.1%, compared to the district's 48.1% and the state's 37.2%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade Reading proficiency rate was 47.1%, compared to the district's 47.1% and the state's 36.9%. This suggests that the school is making progress in improving student outcomes, as it has moved from 416th out of 496 Arkansas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 261st out of 495 in 2024-2025.

While Thomas C Brunson Elementary School outperforms the Warren School District average, it still lags behind some nearby higher-performing schools, such as Monticello Intermediate School, which ranked 224th out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had higher proficiency rates in most subject areas. The relatively low student-teacher ratio at Thomas C Brunson Elementary School, ranging from 11.7 to 14.7 over the past few years, may be a positive factor that helps the school address the unique needs of its student population more effectively.
