Summary

Beebe Elementary School in Beebe, AR, serves 904 students in grades 2 through 4 and is part of the Beebe School District, which ranks in the 76th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its large size—nearly double that of nearby Ward Central Elementary—and a high student-teacher ratio of 18.4:1, the highest among comparable schools in the area. While the school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 48th to the 54th percentile, it faces challenges tied to economic disadvantage, with 63.72% of students receiving free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025.

Academically, Beebe Elementary shines in Mathematics, where 53.3% of students are proficient—9.2 percentage points above the state average. However, a notable gap exists when compared to schools in the nearby Cabot School District. For instance, in English Language Arts, Beebe’s proficiency rate of 38.7% lags behind Mountain Springs Elementary School’s 69.4%, a difference of over 30 points. This disparity is likely influenced by factors like lower per-pupil spending ($11,373 vs. over $14,000 at many Cabot schools) and higher economic disadvantage rates. Despite these hurdles, Beebe Elementary demonstrates a strong ability to develop literacy skills between 3rd and 4th grade, with 4th graders outperforming 3rd graders by over 13 percentage points in both English Language Arts and Reading.

Interestingly, Beebe Elementary shares a campus with Beebe Early Childhood (K-1), which has a similar economic disadvantage rate but a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1. This suggests students transition from a more supportive early learning environment to larger class sizes in 2nd grade. The school’s recent plateau in rankings, after peaking at the 64th percentile in 2022-2023, coincides with a sharp increase in economic disadvantage, indicating that growing challenges may be slowing academic momentum. Overall, Beebe Elementary is a solid, improving school that offers strong math instruction and effective literacy development, though it operates with fewer resources and larger classes than its higher-performing neighbors.
