Summary

Joe Mathias Elementary School is a public school in Rogers, AR, serving 478 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Rogers School District, a 4-star district ranked 57th in the state.

This school presents a mixed picture for parents. While its 4th graders outperformed district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, and Math in the most recent school year, its 3rd graders scored significantly below both the district and state in every subject. This creates a "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern where the youngest tested grade is the weakest, and the middle grade is the strongest—a unique situation among nearby schools. The school also shows a consistent weakness in Science, trailing the district average by nearly 10 percentage points. Overall, the school's state ranking has fluctuated, recently dropping to the 52nd percentile (3 stars) from the previous year's 68th percentile. Notably, nearby schools with similar levels of economic disadvantage, such as Grace Hill Elementary School, have historically ranked higher, suggesting that improvement is possible with targeted interventions.

On a positive note, Math scores have shown a general upward trend over the last three years, though the most recent year saw a slight decline. The school also spends more per student ($12,044) than several higher-performing peers in the district, like Bonnie Grimes Elementary School ($11,346), indicating that funding alone is not the issue. For context, the neighboring Bentonville School District includes Apple Glen Elementary School, a 5-star school ranked 3rd in the state with proficiency rates nearly double those of Joe Mathias. This comparison highlights the significant challenges that come with a high-poverty environment, where 72% of students receive free or reduced lunch.
