Summary

Crawford Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Russellville, Arkansas, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 366 students. The school is part of the Russellville School District, which is ranked 83 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crawford Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ATLAS/ACTASP tests that are significantly lower than the Russellville School District and Arkansas state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.9% of Crawford students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 37.9% in the district and 34.7% statewide. Additionally, Crawford Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.96% to 99.18% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The nearby schools within the Russellville School District, such as Center Valley Elementary and Sequoyah Elementary, significantly outperform Crawford Elementary in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the academic performance at Crawford Elementary is not reflective of the overall district's performance, and there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and best practices from the higher-performing schools.
