Summary

Mammoth Spring Elementary School serves 274 students from Pre-K through 6th grade in the small town of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, and is part of the Mammoth Spring School District.

This school stands out for its impressive results given its unique challenges. Every student at Mammoth Spring qualifies for free or reduced lunch, a much higher rate than nearby Salem Elementary School (66%). To support these high needs, the school spends significantly more per student ($14,996) than Salem ($10,157) or Cherokee Elementary School ($13,122). This investment appears to pay off: Mammoth Spring boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, and its most recent test scores beat the state average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 4th-grade reading proficiency reached 63.7% compared to the state's 40.9%. While Salem Elementary ranks higher overall, Mammoth Spring's ability to achieve above-average results with a 100% poverty rate is a strong indicator of the school's effectiveness.

One area of concern is a noticeable dip in 5th-grade performance, where students fell below state averages in all subjects—a pattern not seen in other grades. However, the school's overall trajectory is positive, with its state ranking improving for three consecutive years, reaching the 66th percentile. This upward trend, combined with strong test scores and small class sizes, suggests that Mammoth Spring is successfully using its resources to help students thrive.
