Summary

Bonnie Grimes Elementary School is a public school in Rogers, AR, serving 458 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Rogers School District, a 4-star district ranked in the top 23% of Arkansas. The school has shown a strong academic rebound, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 71st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year after a dip the previous year, and now outperforms the district average in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics.

A standout feature is the exceptional performance of 3rd graders, who score significantly above both district and state averages in all core subjects—a contrast to nearby schools like Joe Mathias Elementary School, Reagan Elementary School, and Grace Hill Elementary School, which struggle in this grade. However, there is a notable dip in 4th-grade proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Reading, which fall below the district average—a pattern also seen at Old Wire Elementary School and Jones Elementary School. Despite serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (69.65% eligible for free or reduced lunch), the school achieves above-average results, suggesting effective support systems.

Bonnie Grimes is notably a "Math school," with its strongest proficiency in Mathematics (55.4%), well above the state average, while Science (48.1%) lags behind the district—the opposite of Arkansas Arts Academy Elementary, which excels in Science but struggles in Math. The school's performance history is volatile, swinging between the 54th and 78th percentiles over the past decade, which may reflect sensitivity to different student cohorts. For comparison, Eastside Elementary School, just 1.45 miles away, is a consistent 5-star school ranking in the 91st percentile with lower economic disadvantage, suggesting that factors like curriculum and leadership drive its exceptional results—offering a potential model for Bonnie Grimes to study.
