Summary

Gentry Intermediate School in Gentry, AR, serves 416 students in grades 3-5 and is part of the Gentry School District, a community where over half of students (55.5%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most compelling story at Gentry Intermediate is its remarkable academic turnaround. After ranking in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools for several years, the school has posted consistent, multi-year gains, jumping from the 33rd percentile to the 68th percentile. This upward trend is visible across all subjects, with Science proficiency soaring from 38.6% to 53.4% and Math proficiency rising from 41.5% to 50.4%. This rate of improvement outpaces nearby peers like Gravette Upper Elementary and Southside Elementary School. Notably, Gentry achieves these results with a lower student-teacher ratio (15.4:1) than most comparable schools, including Gravette (18.7:1) and Centerton Gamble Elementary (18.1:1), suggesting more individualized attention for students.

Gentry Intermediate also stands out for its efficiency and value. It spends $12,461 per student, less than Glenn Duffy Elementary School ($14,139) and Decatur Northside Elementary ($13,129), yet it significantly outperforms Decatur and is highly competitive with Gravette. While schools in the wealthier Bentonville School District have higher absolute test scores, Gentry is adding strong educational value beyond what its demographic profile would predict. An interesting internal pattern shows that 4th graders consistently outperform 3rd and 5th graders in every subject, which may point to an exceptional teaching team or curriculum alignment at that grade level.
