This school consistently ranks among the best in the state, earning a 5-star rating and a 10th place ranking out of 491 elementary schools in Arkansas for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 98th percentile. Its academic proficiency rates are significantly higher than district averages, with 69.4% of students proficient in English Language Arts compared to the district's 46.8%, and 77.1% in Math versus 59.1%.

What sets Mountain Springs apart from nearby schools is its exceptional consistency and strong early-grade performance. For example, while Eastside Elementary School is the next closest competitor, it trails by 7.5 percentage points in English Language Arts and 13.4 points in Math. The school's 3rd graders achieved the highest scores in the district, with 80.8% proficiency in Math and 79.8% in Science. Interestingly, Mountain Springs achieves these results with lower spending per student ($11,240) compared to other schools like Magness Creek Elementary ($14,441), which ranks lower, showing that effective resource use drives its success.

One notable trend is a performance dip between 3rd and 4th grade, with proficiency dropping in all subjects, such as a 17.9-point decline in Science.
