Summary

Lafayette County Elementary is a public elementary school in Lewisville, Arkansas, serving 244 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Lafayette County School District, which is ranked 249 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Lafayette County Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arkansas elementary schools, with academic proficiency rates well below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 4.5% of students were proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.7%. The school's reading and English language arts proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 3.1% to 19.2% across different grade levels, compared to the state averages of 35.3% to 39.2%. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Bradley Elementary School, Fouke Elementary School, Taylor Elementary School, Genoa Central Elementary School, and Spring Hill Elementary School, generally perform significantly better than Lafayette County Elementary across various academic measures, even though they also serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Lafayette County Elementary spends more per student than some of these higher-performing schools, suggesting that factors other than funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the poor student outcomes.
