This school consistently earns 4 or 5 stars and has ranked in the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools for the past decade, with a strong rebound to the 93rd percentile in the most recent testing year. Eastside stands out for its unique grade configuration—it is one of the few schools in the district that serves students through 5th grade, which may help build a more stable and cohesive school community for older elementary children.

The school also excels in English Language Arts (61.9% proficient), reading (60.5%), and mathematics (63.7%).
