Summary

Northside Elementary School in Rogers, AR, serves 464 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Rogers School District, a highly-rated district ranked in the top 25% of Arkansas schools.

Northside Elementary is currently underperforming compared to its district peers, with a concerning multi-year decline in state ranking. The school has dropped from the 78th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, a steep fall not seen in nearby schools. In the most recent testing year, Northside's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.8%), Reading (35.8%), Mathematics (32.8%), and Science (37.7%) are all significantly below the Rogers School District averages. This is a stark contrast to Eastside Elementary School, located just 2.2 miles away, which is a 5-star school ranking in the top 10% of the state and outperforms Northside by a massive margin (e.g., 69.6% vs. 32.8% proficient in Math). Other nearby schools like Reagan Elementary, Jones Elementary, and Westside Elementary have maintained or improved their standing, making Northside's decline particularly notable.

Interestingly, Northside's decline is not due to changes in student demographics or funding. The school's free/reduced lunch rate has remained stable at around 60% for the past three years, and its per-student spending ($11,348) is in line with peers like Bonnie Grimes Elementary and Old Wire Elementary. This suggests the root cause is internal, such as changes in curriculum or instructional quality. There is a glimmer of hope in the 5th grade cohort, which shows relative strength in ELA (44.4%) and Science (42.0%), outperforming the state average. However, 4th grade scores are a significant weakness across all subjects, indicating a potential cohort-specific issue or discontinuity in instruction between grade levels. The school's leadership and district administration must urgently investigate the causes of this decline to ensure all students receive the same level of opportunity as those in higher-performing nearby schools.
