Summary

John Tyson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springdale, Arkansas, serving 573 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springdale School District, which is ranked 137 out of 250 districts in the state.

John Tyson Elementary School consistently outperforms the Springdale School District and the state of Arkansas in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, 53.5% of the school's students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.8% for the district and 34.7% for the state. The school has also maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Arkansas elementary schools for the past several years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a population with a higher socioeconomic need, as indicated by the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, John Tyson Elementary School has been able to achieve exceptional academic results. This may be due in part to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 18.3 to 19.9 over the past few years, lower than the district average. The school's consistent academic performance and statewide recognition suggest it is effectively addressing the challenges faced by its student population.

My grandson transferred from Sonora (K) mid-term and this school is more advanced in the learning than his previous school. I am amazed, however, it has made a little more challenging for him due to his being behind in his word learning vocabulary which I am home schooling him with abcmouse.com to help guide him in the spelling and pronunciation of the words. If all schools in the same area would teach at the same rate as John Tyson we would have a better transition for students that have to move. I am excited to see his willingness to catch up with his classmates. Its hard enough on kids to make new friends in the middle of a school term but when they are
not at the same level of learning it makes the transition so much harder not only for them in school but also when they come home frustrated. I hope his new teacher MS Boogaart can be patient through his transition, hopefully giving him a chance to catch up, with understanding. Close Quote
