Summary

Tuckerman Elementary School in Tuckerman, AR, serves 468 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Jackson County School District, a 5-star district ranking in the 95th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, especially in Mathematics and Science, where it significantly outperforms nearby schools. In the most recent testing year, Tuckerman Elementary achieved a 63.5% proficiency rate in both subjects, far exceeding the state average of 44.1% in Math and tying with Hillcrest Elementary School for the highest Science scores in the area. While Weiner Elementary shows higher proficiency in English Language Arts, Tuckerman offers a more balanced, high-performing program across all subjects. The school also demonstrated a remarkable turnaround, with proficiency rates jumping over 25 percentage points in both English and Math from the 2023-2024 school year to 2025-2026—an improvement unmatched by any nearby school, including Newport Elementary School and Cedar Ridge Elementary School.

Despite serving a student population with a high rate of economic disadvantage, Tuckerman Elementary consistently achieves results well above the state average and most nearby schools. Its per-student spending of $14,390 is higher than the state average but lower than some peers like Sulphur Rock Magnet Elementary School, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is moderate, suggesting efficient resource allocation. The school’s strong science curriculum, with 3rd graders achieving a 70% proficiency rate, and its "V-shaped" recovery from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026, highlight its resilience and effective leadership. This makes Tuckerman Elementary a standout choice for families seeking a high-performing, supportive elementary school in northeastern Arkansas.
