Summary

Rivercrest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wilson, AR, serving 639 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Rivercrest School District, which is ranked 124 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rivercrest Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 45.7% of 6th graders at Rivercrest were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 35.3%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.8 to 16.9 over the past few years, and spends $9,683 per student, which is on the higher end compared to nearby schools. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, Rivercrest Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating the school is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

While Rivercrest Elementary outperforms the state average in many areas, it is not the highest-performing school in the region. Nearby schools like Manila Elementary and Tyronza Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics. The high free/reduced lunch rate at Rivercrest Elementary suggests the school may face additional challenges in supporting the needs of its student population, such as providing access to resources and addressing socioeconomic barriers to learning.
