Summary

Terry Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Little Rock, AR, serving 328 students as part of the Little Rock School District, and it stands out for having an exceptionally high rate of economic disadvantage, with 99.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

While the school's overall state ranking has declined over the past decade, there is a notable bright spot in its 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, Terry's 5th graders achieved a 51.7% proficiency rate in ELA, which was significantly higher than both the district (37.5%) and state (40.9%) averages. However, this success is not consistent across all grades or subjects; for example, 3rd-grade math proficiency was only 20%, well below the district and state averages. This pattern suggests that a specific instructional approach or program may be working well for literacy in 5th grade but hasn't been replicated in other areas.

Terry Elementary spends a substantial $18,106 per student, which is higher than nearby top-performing schools like Jefferson Elementary ($15,785) and Forest Park Elementary ($15,903), yet its academic results are among the lowest in the area. This high spending, combined with low outcomes, raises questions about how resources are allocated. The school is located less than 2 miles from Fulbright Elementary, which has a much lower poverty rate (35.65%) and a higher ranking, illustrating how socioeconomic factors can create vastly different educational environments within the same district.
