Summary

Indian Hills Elementary School in North Little Rock, AR, serves 398 students in grades K-5 within the North Little Rock School District, where 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic need in the community.

Indian Hills stands out as a "middle of the pack" performer in a district with a stark performance gap. It ranks in the 38th percentile statewide, placing it between high-performing schools like Lakewood Elementary (79th percentile) and Crestwood Elementary (91st percentile) and lower-performing schools like Amboy Elementary (16th percentile) and Ridge Road Elementary (8th percentile). The school's most notable strength is in Mathematics, where 42.2% of students are proficient—nearly matching the state average and far exceeding the district average of 28.8%. This is especially true in 5th grade, where 50% of students are proficient in Math, outperforming both district and state averages. However, Indian Hills struggles in Science, with only 33.9% of students proficient, and 5th graders show a dramatic drop to 26.6% proficiency, suggesting a potential curriculum or instruction issue.

Despite a significant decline from its 80th percentile ranking a decade ago, Indian Hills has shown three consecutive years of improvement, moving from the 30th to the 38th percentile. The school has also invested in smaller class sizes, reducing its student-teacher ratio from 19.4:1 to 14.1:1, the lowest among nearby schools. Interestingly, Indian Hills spends $14,200 per student, more than high-performing Lakewood Elementary ($12,901) but less than low-performing Amboy Elementary ($14,913), indicating that spending alone doesn't guarantee success. The proximity of Lakewood Elementary—just 1.65 miles away with similar demographics but much higher outcomes—suggests that school-level factors like instructional leadership and teacher quality are key to improvement.

This school has a lot of racial profiling. It’s ridiculous. I totally understand why Coleman is hanging by a string, and she kisses thes white people behind. It’s good academic wise but this diverse environment totally sucks. Close Quote
