Summary

Bragg Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Memphis, Arkansas, serving 514 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the West Memphis School District, which is ranked 230 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bragg Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with only 18.3% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.1% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low, and it has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 240 out of 466 schools in 2014-2015 to 445 out of 495 schools in 2024-2025. This is in stark contrast to the nearby Richland Elementary School, which is the highest-performing school in the district and outperforms Bragg in all academic areas.

Bragg Elementary School faces significant challenges, including an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.81% to 100% in recent years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's per-student spending of $7,708 in 2018-2019 was lower than some nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio is relatively high, ranging from 17.6 to 18.3 students per teacher in recent years. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding and resources, and collaboration with the community to support the school's improvement efforts.
