Summary

Glen Rose Elementary School in Malvern, AR, serves 507 students from Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Glen Rose School District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 59th percentile statewide.

This school is a stable, middle-of-the-pack performer in a region with wide performance gaps. While its English and math scores are below state averages, Glen Rose shines in science, with a proficiency rate of 45.8% that exceeds the state average of 44%. This is a unique strength compared to nearby schools like Malvern Elementary School, which serves a more economically disadvantaged population and ranks in the bottom 15-30% of the state. Glen Rose also shows a "late bloomer" trend: its 6th graders outperform state averages in every subject, including reading (48.4% vs. 41.7%) and math (48.4% vs. 45.1%), suggesting the curriculum is especially effective in the upper elementary grades. However, the school has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (18.6) than most nearby schools, such as those in the Benton School District (average 15:1), which may impact individual attention.

An interesting comparison is Poyen Elementary School, just 10 miles away with a similar student population and poverty rate. Poyen is a top-tier school (76th percentile) with dramatically higher proficiency rates (e.g., 62.8% in math vs. Glen Rose's 39.2%), despite spending less per student ($10,593 vs. $13,026). This suggests Glen Rose has room to improve instructional effectiveness. Overall, Glen Rose is a better option than the local Malvern School District schools but is not competitive with higher-performing suburban districts like Bryant School District or Poyen School District. Its key challenge is replicating its upper-grade success in the lower grades, where it lags behind state averages.
