Summary

Hurricane Creek Elementary is a K-5 school in Benton, AR, serving 435 students as part of the highly-rated Bryant School District, which ranks in the top 20% of Arkansas districts.

Hurricane Creek is a solid school with a clear strength in English Language Arts, where 52.9% of students are proficient—well above the district average of 47.3% and the state average of 39.4%. However, its math and science scores are closer to district averages, suggesting room for growth in STEM subjects. The school also has a standout 4th grade, where students achieve the highest proficiency rates across all subjects, including 62.6% in math and 61.4% in science. In contrast, 3rd grade is a relative weakness, with math proficiency at 39.7%, below the district average. While Hurricane Creek is a good school, it ranks 130th in the state, making it the second-lowest ranked elementary in its district, ahead of only Hill Farm Elementary (339th). Nearby schools like Bryant Elementary (53rd) and Collegeville Elementary (92nd) rank higher, as do top performers in the Benton School District, such as Mt. View Elementary (28th) and Perrin Elementary (50th).

One key factor is that Hurricane Creek serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (58.85% qualify for free or reduced lunch) compared to its higher-ranked district peers, such as Springhill Elementary (37.93%) and Salem Elementary (44.99%). Despite this challenge, the school invests heavily in resources, spending $12,453 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 15.4—the lowest in the district. This suggests a strong commitment to individualized attention, and the school has shown it can achieve top-100 state rankings, as it did in 2024-2025 (97th). With continued focus on math and science, and stabilizing its year-over-year performance, Hurricane Creek has the potential to become a consistent leader in the area.
