Summary

Hill Farm Elementary School in Bryant, AR, serves 562 students in grades K-5 and is part of the highly-rated Bryant School District, which ranks in the top 20% of Arkansas districts. However, Hill Farm currently holds a 2-star rating and has experienced a significant decline in state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 89th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026. This makes it the lowest-performing elementary school within its otherwise excellent district, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32%), Reading (31%), Mathematics (42.9%), and Science (34.7%) falling well below district averages.

A key factor differentiating Hill Farm from nearby schools is its high rate of economic disadvantage, with 73.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—the highest rate among all nearby schools. For comparison, Hurricane Creek Elementary in the same district has 58.85%, while Mt. View Elementary in the Benton School District has only 22.51%. This strong correlation between poverty and lower test scores is a critical context for understanding the school's performance. Notably, spending per student at Hill Farm ($11,808) is in line with other district schools like Springhill Elementary ($11,644) and Salem Elementary ($11,776), suggesting the challenge is not a lack of financial resources but rather the need for targeted interventions to support students from low-income backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope in 4th Grade Mathematics, where 51.7% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—above the state average of 47% and significantly higher than the school's scores in other subjects. This could indicate a specific teacher or program that is working and could serve as a model for improvement. The most direct comparison is with Angie Grant Elementary School in the Benton School District, which has a similar rate of economic disadvantage (66.18%) and nearly identical test scores (34.1% vs. 32% in ELA, 39.5% vs. 42.9% in Math). This reinforces that Hill Farm's primary challenge is overcoming the barriers associated with poverty, a challenge its more affluent district peers do not face to the same degree.
