Summary

Centerton Gamble Elementary is a public elementary school serving 791 students in grades K-4 in the Bentonville School District in Arkansas, a highly-ranked district rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While Centerton Gamble Elementary consistently performs above the state average on standardized tests, its academic performance is slightly below the district average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 51.2% of Centerton Gamble students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 58.9% for the Bentonville School District. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 17.95% to 24.1% over the past few years. However, its student-teacher ratio of 19.7 to 20.6 is slightly higher than some nearby high-performing schools like Willowbrook Elementary and Elm Tree Elementary.

Interestingly, several nearby schools in the Bentonville School District, as well as the Founders Classical Academies of Arkansas Bentonville school, consistently outperform Centerton Gamble Elementary on standardized tests. These schools also tend to have lower percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. While Centerton Gamble Elementary has a higher per-student spending than some of these nearby schools, it still faces competition from these high-performing institutions.
