Summary

Hunt Elementary School in Springdale, AR, is a large, high-performing school serving 890 students in grades PK-5 within the Springdale School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 75th percentile statewide.

Hunt Elementary stands out as an academic leader in its area, significantly outperforming both its district and state averages in all core subjects. It is particularly strong in mathematics, with 59.7% of all students proficient compared to 43.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. This strength is most notable in 3rd grade, where 70.7% of students are proficient in math—a remarkable 26 percentage points above the state average. While Hunt is a top-tier school, it is not the highest-performing in its immediate vicinity; nearby Willis Shaw Elementary School and Bernice Young Elementary rank in the 95th and 91st percentiles, respectively. However, Hunt is a clear academic oasis compared to lower-performing schools within a 2-mile radius, such as Elmdale Elementary (16th percentile) and Jones Elementary (11th percentile).

Despite its overall excellence, a notable pattern emerges in the data: 4th grade scores are significantly lower than 3rd and 5th grade scores across all subjects, suggesting a potential "4th grade slump" that school leadership may want to investigate. Additionally, Hunt has a long history of high achievement, having ranked in the 97th percentile in 2015-2016, though its ranking has gradually declined to the 75th percentile over the last decade. The school also serves a more economically diverse population than many of its neighbors, with 57.3% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, compared to 95% at Jones Elementary. Hunt achieves strong results with per-student spending ($13,371) that is in the middle of the pack for its district, indicating efficient resource allocation or strong non-financial factors like school culture and parental involvement.
