Summary

Jim D Rollins Elementary School Of Innovation is a public elementary school in Springdale, AR, serving 570 students in grades PK-5 and holding a 4-star rating that places it in the 89th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This school stands out within the Springdale School District for its exceptional academic performance, consistently scoring 15-20 percentage points higher than the district average in every subject. Mathematics is a particular strength, with an overall proficiency rate of 62.4%—18.1 points above the state average—and 4th graders achieving an impressive 67.6% proficiency. The school has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 55th percentile to the 89th percentile in just two years, suggesting that its "Innovation" label reflects real, effective teaching strategies.

Compared to nearby schools, Rollins benefits from a lower rate of economic disadvantage, with only 37.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This is significantly less than other Springdale elementary schools like John Tyson Elementary School (71.8%) and Westwood Elementary School (86.14%). Interestingly, Rollins achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,361) than lower-performing peers like Westwood ($14,166) and Elmdale Elementary School ($14,558), indicating efficient use of resources. The closest high-performing rival is Bernice Young Elementary, just 1.92 miles away, which has a similar low free/reduced lunch rate (36.94%) and a 5-star rating. Rollins outperforms Bernice Young in Math (62.4% vs. 57.7%) but trails slightly in English Language Arts (56.1% vs. 61.2%), creating a fascinating micro-competition between two demographically similar schools.

While Rollins is a top-tier school within the Springdale district, it is not the highest-performing in the immediate area. Vandergriff Elementary School in the Fayetteville School District is ranked 2nd in the entire state (100th percentile) and achieves proficiency rates 15-20 points higher in every subject, despite having an even lower free/reduced lunch rate of 11.29%. This highlights a significant performance gap between the two districts. One area for potential focus at Rollins is a slight dip in 5th-grade performance compared to 3rd and 4th grades—for example, 5th-grade Math proficiency (54.8%) is about 10 points lower than 4th-grade Math (67.6%)—suggesting the school may want to ensure its strong foundation carries through to upper elementary.
