Summary

Trumann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 686 students in grades K-5 in Trumann, Arkansas, which is part of the Trumann School District. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district averages on standardized tests, with only 19.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.5% proficient in Math, significantly lower than the state's averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively.

Trumann Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 63.47% to 98.99% free/reduced lunch. The school's spending per student of $9,642 in 2018-2019 is on par with the nearby schools, which range from $8,068 to $12,339 per student. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 251 out of 466 Arkansas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 432 out of 495 in 2024-2025, suggesting a concerning trend of worsening academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Riverside East Elementary, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.5%), Reading (36.5%), and Math (21.2%) in 2024-2025, Trumann Elementary consistently underperforms. This combination of high poverty and low academic performance is a concerning trend seen in many high-poverty schools, indicating the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and achievement.
