Summary

Eureka Springs Elementary School in Eureka Springs, AR, serves 227 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in the scenic Ozark town, and it stands out as a high-performing school that consistently beats the odds.

This school has earned a 4-star rating for six consecutive years, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement given that over 72% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. In the most recent school year, Eureka Springs Elementary significantly outperformed all nearby schools and the state average in every subject. For example, 58.3% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to just 34% at the nearest competitor, Berryville Intermediate School (a 2-star school). In Science, 63.1% were proficient versus the state average of 44%. This success is not a fluke; the school has led in all subjects for two years running. The Eureka Springs School District itself ranks in the 88th percentile, far ahead of the nearby Berryville School District (65th percentile), despite serving similar demographics.

A key differentiator is the school's strategic investment: it spends $17,900 per student, over 40% more than the next highest spender, Berryville Elementary School ($13,682). This funding likely supports smaller class sizes and specialized resources. An intriguing pattern is the "4th grade leap"—4th graders dramatically outperformed 3rd graders in 2025-2026, with a 23-point gap in Math (63.8% vs. 40.5%) and a 21-point gap in Science (72.4% vs. 51.3%). This suggests the school's curriculum is exceptionally effective in the upper grades. For families, Eureka Springs Elementary is a clear choice for academic excellence in Northwest Arkansas.
