Summary

Weiner Elementary is a small, rural K-6 school in Weiner, AR, serving just 126 students as part of the Harrisburg School District. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts and Reading, where 65.7% of students are proficient—nearly double the rate at its district counterpart, Harrisburg Elementary (35.2%), and well above the state average (39.4%). Weiner Elementary has a history of academic excellence, earning a 5-star rating for three consecutive years (2020-2023) and ranking in the top 7% of Arkansas elementary schools during that period.

What truly sets Weiner Elementary apart is its resource-rich environment. The school spends $18,465 per student, significantly more than nearby schools like Valley View Intermediate ($9,885), and maintains a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.5:1. This investment likely fuels its strong literacy outcomes, though math performance is more varied—3rd graders struggle (20% proficient) while 6th graders excel (90.9% proficient). The school has shown resilience, rebounding from a ranking dip in 2024-2025 to earn a 4-star rating in 2025-2026, even as its free/reduced lunch population spiked dramatically from around 19% to 97.62%.

Compared to top-performing nearby schools like Valley View Elementary and Valley View Intermediate, Weiner Elementary matches or exceeds them in reading but lags in math (50% vs. 63%) and science (53.1% vs. 54.7%). This highlights a clear strength in literacy and room for growth in STEM subjects. For parents, Weiner Elementary offers a personalized, high-investment learning environment with a proven track record in reading, making it a standout choice within the Harrisburg School District, despite the challenges of serving a changing student population.
