Summary

Elza R. Tucker Elementary School in Lowell, AR, is a mid-sized school serving 626 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Rogers School District, a district that ranks in the top 23% of Arkansas.

Tucker Elementary stands out for its exceptionally high per-student spending of $16,527 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, both of which are the best among nearby schools. However, this significant investment does not translate into top-tier test scores. For example, Fairview Elementary School spends 40% less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio, yet achieves higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. Similarly, Lowell Elementary School, just under a mile away, serves a similar student population with lower spending and a higher student-teacher ratio, yet produces nearly identical academic results. This suggests that while Tucker’s smaller class sizes may offer other benefits, they are not currently yielding a clear academic advantage over its peers.

The school has experienced a performance dip in recent years, with its state ranking falling from a high of 78th in 2019 to 134th in the 2025-2026 school year. A grade-level analysis reveals that 4th grade is a consistent area of weakness, with students scoring below the district average in all subjects. Despite these challenges, Tucker performs well when considering its student demographics, outperforming schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage, such as Old Wire Elementary School and Bonnie Grimes Elementary School, by a wide margin.
