Sulphur Rock Magnet Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Batesville School District in Arkansas. With 266 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.9, the school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning 3-5 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Sulphur Rock Magnet Elementary School significantly outperforms the Batesville School District and the state of Arkansas in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 60.2% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics, compared to 39.6% for the district and 38.7% for the state. This strong academic performance may be attributed to the school's lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby West Magnet Elementary School and Eagle Mountain Magnet Elementary School.

This suggests Sulphur Rock Magnet Elementary School serves a more economically advantaged student population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school also has a higher per-student spending of $14,166 (in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby West Magnet Elementary School ($9,650) and Eagle Mountain Magnet Elementary School ($9,618), which may also play a role in its success.
