Summary

Theodore Jones Elementary School is a public elementary school in Conway, Arkansas, serving 485 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Conway School District, which is ranked 79 out of 250 districts in the state.

While the school's spending per student is higher than the district average, Theodore Jones Elementary consistently underperforms compared to other schools in the district and the state in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science were all below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.93%, compared to the district average. This suggests the school serves a lower-income population, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

When comparing Theodore Jones Elementary to nearby schools in the district, such as Carolyn Lewis Elementary School and Woodrow Cummins Elementary School, it is clear that Theodore Jones is underperforming academically. These other schools consistently outperform Theodore Jones in standardized test scores and have higher state-wide rankings. Despite the higher spending per student at Theodore Jones, the school's academic performance is still lagging behind, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources to support student learning.
