Summary

Jackson/Wonder Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Memphis, Arkansas, serving 541 students in grades PK-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.

Academically, Jackson/Wonder Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 6.8% to 22.8%, compared to the state averages of 34.7% to 43.1%. The school's high-poverty student population, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the West Memphis School District, such as Earle Elementary School, Herbert Carter Global Community Magnet School, and Marion Math Science & Technology Magnet School, also struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. However, some schools, like Richland Elementary and Maddux Elementary, have slightly higher proficiency rates compared to Jackson/Wonder Elementary.
