Summary

Timbo Elementary School is a small, rural school in Timbo, AR, serving 98 students in grades PK through 6 within the Mountain View School District, where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Timbo Elementary has experienced a dramatic and concerning decline in recent years. After achieving a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 25% of Arkansas elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year, the school has dropped to a 1-star rating, ranking 350th out of 491 schools. This is the most severe decline among nearby schools, including Marshall Elementary School and Mountain View Elementary School, which have maintained or improved their standings. In the most recent data, Timbo recorded the lowest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.4%) and Mathematics (31.3%) compared to all nearby schools, and the second-lowest in Reading (31.4%) and Science (35.3%), only slightly ahead of Shirley Elementary School.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: Timbo’s 4th graders significantly outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts, with 50% proficient. However, 5th and 6th graders performed dramatically worse, with proficiency rates of just 18.2% and 17.7%, respectively. This inconsistency suggests a potential issue with a specific cohort or instructional quality in the upper grades. The school’s low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, the lowest in the district, is an asset that is not translating into academic success. Meanwhile, Rural Special Elementary School, also in the same district and serving a similar population, has maintained a 2-star rating and outperforms Timbo in ELA and Reading, pointing to school-specific factors behind the decline. Immediate, targeted intervention for the upper elementary grades is essential to reverse this trend.
