Summary

Nevada Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rosston, Arkansas, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 227 students. The school is part of the Nevada School District, which is ranked 214 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nevada Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with a ranking between 345-420 out of 487-497 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as ATLAS and ACT Aspire, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science were 22.3%, 25.6%, 35.5%, and 25.6%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 34.7%, 35.3%, 38.7%, and 38.1%. The school also has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, the two nearby schools, Wm. Jefferson Clinton Primary School and Prescott Elementary School, also serve high-poverty student populations, but generally outperform Nevada Elementary School on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. This suggests that Nevada Elementary School may face unique challenges in addressing the needs of its student population.
