Summary

Bonneville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, part of the Fort Smith School District. Despite having a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Bonneville consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels.

Bonneville Elementary's academic performance stands out, with the school consistently ranking in the top half of Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger. This success may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student, lower student-teacher ratios, and strong focus on academic achievement. In comparison, nearby schools like Carnall Elementary and Tilles Elementary have significantly lower test scores and rankings.

While Bonneville Elementary is performing well overall, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas where its proficiency rates are below the state average, such as 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Understanding the factors that contribute to Bonneville's success could provide valuable insights for other schools in the Fort Smith School District and the state of Arkansas.
