Summary

Leverett Elementary School is a small, PK-4 school in Fayetteville, AR, serving 238 students as part of the highly-rated Fayetteville School District. This school stands out for its resilience and improvement, climbing from a low point in 2021-2022 to earn 4-star ratings in recent years, though it currently holds a 3-star rating. A key factor is its student population: over 55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate significantly higher than nearby high-performing schools like Vandergriff Elementary School (11.29%) and Root Elementary School (14.83%). Despite this challenge, Leverett's test scores in English, math, and science all exceed the state average, showing effective teaching at work.

Leverett spends $15,481 per student, notably more than its higher-scoring neighbors like Vandergriff ($11,305) and Root ($11,531), reflecting an investment in resources to support its higher-needs population. Its student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is moderate—lower than Holcomb Elementary School (20.8:1) but higher than Asbell Elementary School (14.5:1), which has the highest poverty rate in the district. An interesting internal trend is the performance gap between grades: 4th graders dramatically outperform 3rd graders in every subject, with math scores 14.4 percentage points higher. This could indicate a particularly strong 4th-grade cohort or that the school's interventions become more effective by that grade.

Leverett sits in a tight geographic cluster that highlights educational equity challenges. It is just 0.85 miles from Asbell (a 1-star school with 87.46% free/reduced lunch) and 1.02 miles from Washington Elementary School (a 4-star school). This proximity to schools with vastly different demographics and performance levels—from 1-star to 5-star—illustrates the complex socioeconomic factors at play. For parents, Leverett offers a small, personalized environment where the school is working hard to overcome economic challenges, with a track record of improvement that suggests strong leadership and dedicated staff.
