Summary

Chicot Elementary School in Mabelvale, AR, is a large PK-5 school within the Little Rock School District, serving 897 students in an area with extremely high economic need, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Chicot Elementary is performing well below district and state averages, with proficiency rates hovering around 20% across subjects. However, the school shows a slight upward trend, improving from the 1st percentile in 2018-2019 to the 8th percentile in 2025-2026. A key differentiator is its spending: Chicot spends $20,281 per student, which is 74% higher than the nearby high-performing Robert L. Davis Elementary School (Bryant School District), which spends $11,666 per student yet achieves proficiency rates of 40-49%. This spending-versus-performance paradox suggests the challenges at Chicot are not about funding but likely stem from factors like high poverty concentration and student mobility. Notably, Chicot outperforms its closest neighbor, Watson Elementary School, in every subject, despite both serving similar demographics.

The school also shows a "4th grade slump," with proficiency dropping from 3rd to 4th grade in English Language Arts (25.3% to 16.5%) and math (25.2% to 22.6%), indicating a potential breakdown in the transition from learning to read to reading to learn. While Chicot’s performance is low, it is part of a broader pattern in the Little Rock School District, where all nearby LRSD schools rank in the bottom 30% of the state, compared to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts like Bryant and Pulaski County Special School District. Despite these challenges, Chicot’s modest year-over-year test score improvements offer a glimmer of hope that recent efforts may be starting to yield results.
