Summary

Westside Elementary School in Rogers, AR, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 402 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it is part of the highly-rated Rogers School District. The school has recently made a dramatic academic turnaround, jumping from the 49th percentile (2 stars) in the 2024-2025 school year to the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026—a remarkable 24-percentile-point increase that sets it apart from nearby schools like Eastside Elementary School, which saw a slight decline over the same period.

This improvement is likely fueled by the school's strategic investment in resources: Westside has the highest per-student spending ($12,401) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.2:1) among all comparable Rogers district elementary schools, including Joe Mathias Elementary School and Reagan Elementary School. In the 2025-2026 school year, Westside's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (53.6%) and Science (53.6%) now exceed both the district and state averages, a stark reversal from the previous year when it lagged behind. However, a notable challenge remains in 3rd grade, where students scored well below the district average in Math (35.7% vs. 51.0%) and other subjects, suggesting a potential "3rd grade slump" that the school will need to address to sustain its momentum.

While Westside still trails the academic leader Eastside Elementary School in overall proficiency, its Science scores (53.6%) are now much closer to Eastside's (58.2%). The school also faces competition from high-performing charter schools like Lisa Academy Rogers-Bentonville Elementary School, which serves a lower percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. For parents, Westside represents a school on the rise, with a compelling story of how targeted resources and smaller class sizes can drive rapid improvement, though continued focus on early-grade performance will be key to its long-term success.
