Academically, Hackett Elementary School is struggling, with consistently low test scores that significantly underperform the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.4%), Reading (27.9%), and Mathematics (32.7%) were all well below the state averages of 34.7%, 35.3%, and 38.7%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 168 out of 488 Arkansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 338 out of 495 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state.

Compared to nearby schools, such as East Pointe Elementary School in the Greenwood School District, which had proficiency rates over 50% in multiple subjects, Hackett Elementary School's performance is significantly lower. Additionally, Hackett Elementary School serves a high-poverty student population, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 100% in recent years, while the nearby schools have much lower rates of 35-54%. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hackett Elementary School's academic struggles suggest that addressing the economic and educational challenges facing the Hackett community should be a priority to improve student outcomes.
