Summary

Bayyari Elementary School in Springdale, AR, serves 543 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade within the Springdale School District, and it is a school where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a highly economically disadvantaged community.

Academically, Bayyari consistently scores well below both the district and state averages, ranking in the 16th percentile of Arkansas elementary schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, its math proficiency rate dropped to just 11.5%, the lowest among nearby schools, though it recovered to 30.3% the following year. This volatility is a concern, but there is a glimmer of hope: 3rd graders at Bayyari often outperform the school’s overall averages, suggesting early intervention efforts may be working, though progress is not sustained into 4th and 5th grades. A stark contrast is Hunt Elementary School, just 2.91 miles away, which serves a more affluent population (57.3% free/reduced lunch) and achieves nearly double the proficiency rates in every subject, highlighting the strong link between poverty and academic outcomes.

Interestingly, Lisa Academy Springdale, a charter school 1.83 miles away, serves a similar demographic (73.78% free/reduced lunch) but performs significantly better, scoring in the 65th percentile. This suggests that Bayyari’s challenges may not be solely due to poverty but also school-specific factors like curriculum or instruction. Despite its high-need population, Bayyari spends less per student ($11,798) than many peers, such as Westwood Elementary School ($14,166) and Harp Elementary School ($18,402), which may impact resources for support programs.
