Summary

Mansfield Elementary School serves 278 students from Kindergarten through 4th grade in the small town of Mansfield, Arkansas, and is part of the Mansfield School District.

This school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments consistently below the state average across all subjects. For example, only 22.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.4%. This performance is notably lower than nearby schools like Charleston Elementary School (44.9% proficiency) and dramatically lower than Westwood Elementary School (64.6% proficiency) in the Greenwood School District, located just 10-11 miles away. Over the past decade, the school's state ranking has steadily declined from the 62nd percentile to the 14th percentile. The school also has a high rate of economic disadvantage, with over 71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than many neighboring districts. Despite these challenges, Mansfield Elementary maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1 and spends a relatively high $14,004 per student—more than higher-performing schools like Westwood ($11,962) and East Pointe Elementary School ($10,392).

One interesting bright spot is in 6th-grade mathematics, where Mansfield students achieved a 47.4% proficiency rate, exceeding the state average of 45.1%. This suggests a potential strength in the middle school math program. However, the overall pattern shows a consistent struggle across all subjects, indicating foundational challenges that may be linked to the high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The stark contrast with the high-achieving Greenwood district schools, which have much lower rates of economic disadvantage, highlights the powerful influence of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes.
