Summary

Mayflower Elementary School in Mayflower, AR, serves 363 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Mayflower School District. This school stands out for its exceptional science program, with 62.8% of students proficient in science—a remarkable 42.7% higher than the state average and significantly outperforming nearby schools like Ida Burns Elementary School and Pine Forest Elementary School. Even when compared to the high-performing Maumelle Charter Elementary (which has a much lower poverty rate), Mayflower Elementary nearly matches its science scores, suggesting a highly effective and focused science curriculum that delivers strong results despite serving a population where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

However, the school's performance tells a story of dramatic highs and lows. After a severe dip in the 2024-2025 school year, Mayflower Elementary rebounded impressively in 2025-2026, with science proficiency jumping from 28.5% to 62.8% and English Language Arts from 28.6% to 50.4%. This volatility is a cautionary note for parents, as it suggests the school's success can shift significantly from year to year. Additionally, there is a stark "two-tiered" performance gap between grade levels: 3rd graders far outperformed 4th graders in 2025-2026, with 67.2% proficient in ELA versus 33.3% for 4th graders, and 49.2% in math versus 25%. This pattern may point to specific challenges in the 4th-grade cohort or curriculum that families should investigate further.

While Mayflower Elementary's science program is a clear strength, its math performance (37.2% proficient) lags behind the state average (44.1%) and nearby schools like Ellen Smith Elementary School. The school also spends less per student ($11,904) than many neighboring schools with similar poverty levels, such as Oak Grove Elementary School and Pine Forest Elementary, indicating that its science success comes from effective resource allocation rather than high spending. For parents, this school offers a standout science program and a recent turnaround, but the uneven performance across subjects and grade levels means it's important to ask about how the school supports consistency and addresses gaps in math and upper-grade learning.
