Jerry Pop Williams Elementary School in Farmington, AR, serves 471 students in grades K-3 and is part of the highly-rated Farmington School District, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its remarkable academic rebound in the 2025-2026 school year, jumping 79 spots in state rankings to reach the 88th percentile—a rate of improvement unmatched by any nearby school. It consistently outperforms its own district average in every subject, with math being a particular strength at 64% proficiency, a full 20 points above the state average.

The school also maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 17.1:1, smaller than many high-performing Fayetteville schools.

While surrounded by elite schools in the Fayetteville School District like Root Elementary (99th percentile) and Vandergriff (100th percentile), Jerry Pop Williams holds its own when compared to schools with similar demographics. It significantly outperforms schools like Owl Creek and Leverett Elementary, which have higher poverty levels. This school tells a story of resilience, recovering from a pandemic-era slump to once again approach its pre-pandemic excellence, making it a smart choice for families seeking a high-quality, cost-effective education in the Farmington area.
