Summary

Boone Park Elementary School in North Little Rock, AR, serves 428 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the North Little Rock School District, a district ranked in the bottom 20% of Arkansas. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 1-2% of all elementary schools in the state over the past several years, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch for three consecutive years—a level of economic disadvantage that sets it apart from nearby schools like Pulaski Heights Elementary School (48.12%) and Gibbs Magnet Elementary School (57.73%).

Despite high per-pupil spending of $17,653 in 2023-2024—above the state average and comparable to the high-performing Gibbs Magnet ($18,630)—Boone Park's academic outcomes remain critically low. However, there is a notable "bright spot" in 3rd Grade Mathematics, where 21.6% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, significantly higher than the school's own 3rd Grade ELA proficiency (8.1%) and closer to the district average (36.9%). Conversely, a dramatic "5th grade cliff" emerges, with proficiency dropping from 12.9% in 4th grade Math to 9.8% in 5th grade, and from 16.4% in 4th grade Science to 11.8% in 5th grade, suggesting a need for targeted intervention at that level.

Compared to its most direct peer, Seventh Street Elementary School—also in the North Little Rock district and serving a nearly 100% economically disadvantaged population—Boone Park consistently outperforms it, with 5th grade ELA proficiency (10.2%) triple that of Seventh Street's (3.2%). While Boone Park's rank of 487 out of 491 in 2025-2026 is a slight improvement from its worst rank of 491 out of 492 in 2022-2023, the school remains in the bottom 1% of the state. The proximity of high-performing schools like Gibbs Magnet (79th percentile) and Pulaski Heights (65th percentile) within a 2-mile radius highlights the stark contrast in outcomes, underscoring the need for dramatic, sustained improvement to close the gap with state averages.
