Summary

Bryant Elementary School in Bryant, AR, serves 785 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-rated Bryant School District, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where it significantly outpaces both district and state averages. For example, 65.1% of all students are proficient in math compared to 50.6% in the district and 44.1% statewide. A remarkable surge occurs in 4th grade, where math proficiency jumps to 75.0%, the highest single-grade score at the school and a full 15.8 points above the district's 4th-grade average. This suggests a highly effective math curriculum or teaching team at that grade level.

Despite having the highest student-teacher ratio in the district at 18.7, Bryant Elementary spends more per student ($13,477) than any other elementary school in the district, indicating that funds are directed toward resources, support staff, or technology rather than smaller class sizes. The school also outperforms nearby schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates, such as Springhill Elementary and Salem Elementary, in nearly every subject, showing that its success is not solely tied to socioeconomic factors. However, a stark contrast exists with Hill Farm Elementary, just 1.67 miles away, which has a higher free/reduced lunch rate and significantly lower test scores, highlighting how resource allocation and demographics can vary within the same district.

While Bryant Elementary is a top-tier school, ranking 53rd in Arkansas (89th percentile) for 2025-2026, it has seen slight volatility in recent years after reaching a 5-star rating and 47th place in 2023-2024. Compared to the region's highest-performing school, Mt. View Elementary in the Benton School District, Bryant excels in math but lags in English Language Arts (57.7% vs. 64.6% proficient) and reading (57.0% vs. 65.9%). This suggests that while Bryant is a strong choice for families, there is room for growth in literacy to reach the absolute highest echelon of elementary schools in the region.
