Summary

Old Wire Elementary School is a public school in Rogers, AR, serving 481 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Rogers School District, a 4-star district ranked in the top 23% of Arkansas. The school has a 3-star rating and serves a community where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate significantly higher than nearby schools like Fairview Elementary School (20.34%) and even its close neighbor Jones Elementary School (68%).

One of the most notable findings is a "3rd grade spike" in performance. In the most recent testing year, Old Wire's 3rd graders significantly outperformed both the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. For example, 71.7% were proficient in math compared to 51% district-wide. However, this success is not sustained, as proficiency drops sharply in 4th and 5th grades—math falls to around 45%—a pattern more pronounced here than at any other nearby school. This suggests that while the 3rd-grade team may be highly effective, the support may not carry over to upper grades.

Despite serving a high-needs population, Old Wire's per-student spending ($10,697) is lower than several peers, including Westside Elementary School ($12,401) and Lowell Elementary School ($11,567). The school's strongest subject is math, where overall proficiency (52.6%) is close to the district average. Interestingly, just over a mile away, Eastside Elementary School is a 5-star school with much higher scores, despite a 59% free/reduced lunch rate, showing that high performance is achievable in the same area.
