Summary

Rose Bud Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades K-6 in the Rose Bud School District in Arkansas. The school consistently performs above the state average in core academic subjects, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student.

Rose Bud Elementary's test scores are particularly strong, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science exceeding the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 43.7%, compared to the state average of 34.7%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 14.1 over the past few years, which is lower than the state average and many nearby schools. Additionally, Rose Bud Elementary spends $9,341 per student, slightly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Rose Bud Elementary generally performs better in terms of test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, suggesting that its performance may not be as consistent as some of the higher-performing schools in the area. The school also serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This may be a factor in the school's performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can impact academic achievement.
