Summary

S.C. Tucker Elementary School in Danville, AR, serves 328 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Danville School District, which ranks in the 71st percentile statewide.

S.C. Tucker stands out as a high-performing school in the region, earning a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year and significantly outperforming nearby schools across all core subjects. In English Language Arts, 51.7% of Tucker students are proficient, which is 15.6 points higher than the next best school, Western Yell County Elementary School. In Mathematics, Tucker's 53.4% proficiency rate is 5 points higher than Dardanelle Intermediate School, and in Science, Tucker's 60% proficiency is a remarkable 19 points higher than Dardanelle Intermediate. The school also demonstrates efficient spending, with a per-pupil cost of $13,997, which is lower than Two Rivers Elementary School ($17,633) and Western Yell County ($16,185), yet it achieves far superior academic results. This efficiency, combined with a lower rate of economic disadvantage compared to its neighbors, positions Tucker as the clear academic leader in the area.

However, the school has experienced some volatility in recent years. After a phenomenal peak in 2022-2023, when it ranked 30th in the state with a 5-star rating, Tucker saw a decline before rebounding to its current 4-star status. A key internal concern is a significant drop in performance between 3rd and 4th grade: for example, 3rd graders scored 69.1% proficient in English Language Arts, while 4th graders scored only 36.9%. This pattern suggests a need to examine the 4th-grade curriculum or cohort. Despite these challenges, Tucker remains a standout choice for families in the Danville area, offering strong academic outcomes and efficient resource use compared to other local elementary schools.
