Summary

Pine Haven Elementary School in Bauxite, AR, serves 753 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Bauxite School District, which holds a 2-star rating. The school itself has a 2-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 32nd percentile of elementary schools statewide, a notable decline from its consistent 3-star ratings and higher percentiles in previous years. This downward trend is a key concern for parents, especially when compared to nearby schools in the high-performing Bryant School District and Benton School District, where schools like Bryant Elementary School and Mt. View Elementary consistently earn 4 or 5 stars.

Academically, Pine Haven's proficiency rates are below state averages in all core subjects, with a particularly sharp drop in 4th grade, where English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency falls to 26.1% compared to the state average of about 41%. This suggests a potential "4th-grade slump" that may require targeted support. However, there is a bright spot: Science proficiency (41.6%) is the school's strongest subject and nearly matches the state average (44%), indicating a possible strength in the science curriculum that could be leveraged. Financially, Pine Haven is notably efficient, spending just $8,714 per student in 2023-2024—thousands less than nearby schools like Angie Grant Elementary School ($13,884) and Bryant Elementary School ($13,477)—yet achieving similar outcomes to some higher-spending peers like Hill Farm Elementary School.

The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (17.7:1) than many competitors, such as Perrin Elementary School (15.0) and Hurricane Creek Elementary (15.4), which may contribute to its academic challenges. While the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (46.48%) is moderate, it does not fully explain performance gaps, as schools like Parkway Elementary School have higher poverty rates but significantly better test scores. Overall, Pine Haven is a financially efficient school facing a clear downward trajectory, with a need for strategic intervention to reverse its decline and better compete with neighboring districts.
