Garfield Elementary School

Public Grades

Summary

Garfield Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Rogers School District in Arkansas. With just 106 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, Garfield Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Garfield Elementary's academic performance is truly impressive, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the Rogers School District and across the state of Arkansas. In 2023-2024, 52.8% of Garfield students were proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts, compared to just 41.7% for the district and 33.8% for the state. This high level of achievement is even more remarkable given that Garfield serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 67.92% to 69.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

The school's success appears to be driven by a combination of factors, including its small class sizes, higher per-student spending ($12,241 compared to $8,980 to $10,690 at nearby Westside Elementary, Bonnie Grimes Elementary, and other Rogers School District schools), and effective instructional practices. Garfield Elementary's consistent excellence and ability to support its economically disadvantaged students make it a standout among elementary schools in the region.
