Summary

Morrilton Elementary School in Morrilton, AR, serves 311 students in grades 2 and 3 within the South Conway County School District, and it stands out for its exceptional math performance despite serving a community with very high economic need.

What truly sets Morrilton Elementary apart is its remarkable strength in mathematics. In the most recent school year, 55.7% of students were proficient in math, which is significantly higher than the state average of 44.1% and even surpasses several more affluent schools in the area. For example, it outperforms Marguerite Vann Elementary (25.4% math proficiency) and Julia Lee Moore Elementary (48.9% math proficiency) in the Conway School District. This is a powerful achievement, especially considering the school has a free/reduced lunch rate of nearly 100%, the highest among all nearby schools. The school’s state ranking has also shown a strong rebound, climbing from the 30th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 52nd percentile recently, suggesting recent efforts are paying off.

While math is a clear highlight, the school’s English Language Arts and Reading scores (40.8% and 38.6% proficient, respectively) are closer to state averages, creating a large gap between subjects. This focused success in math is not simply a result of high spending—per-student funding at Morrilton Elementary ($12,161) is moderate compared to other area schools like Atkins Elementary ($15,759). For parents, this school offers a compelling story of resilience and targeted academic strength, particularly in math, where it is achieving results that defy expectations.
