Summary

Lead Hill Elementary School is a small, rural school in Lead Hill, Arkansas, serving 185 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade, and it stands out for its exceptional strength in mathematics despite serving a community where nearly all students (98.38%) face economic disadvantage.

Academically, the school presents a fascinating paradox. In mathematics, 55.6% of students are proficient, significantly outpacing the state average of 44.1% and even surpassing nearby Flippin Elementary School (43.2%). This math performance is a major asset and a key differentiator from peers. However, the school struggles in English Language Arts and Reading, with only 28.3% and 27.3% proficiency respectively—well below state averages and the lowest among nearby schools. For comparison, Yellville-Summit Elementary School, which has a similarly high poverty rate (99.32%), achieves 43.8% proficiency in ELA. This stark contrast suggests a highly effective math program but a critical need for improved literacy instruction.

Despite these challenges, the school is on an upward trajectory, improving its state ranking from the 25th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026. The Lead Hill School District spends $14,916 per student—higher than many nearby districts like Bergman School District ($10,650)—reflecting the needs of its high-poverty population. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, class sizes are larger than at Flippin Elementary (9.8) or Omaha Elementary School (13.8). For parents, this school offers a strong math foundation and a positive trend, but literacy support will be a key area to watch.
