Summary:
This analysis examines four elementary schools in Greenbrier, Arkansas (zip code 72058), serving grades PK through 5, all part of the highly-ranked Greenbrier School District, which is ranked 10th out of 251 districts in the state.
Greenbrier Springhill Elementary School is the standout performer, ranked 4th in Arkansas for 2025-2026, with proficiency rates in English (74.7%), math (79.4%), and science (81.6%) far exceeding state averages. It achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($9,865) and the smallest student-to-teacher ratio (16.3) among the four schools. Greenbrier Wooster Elementary and Greenbrier Westside Elementary are also strong, both ranking in the 94th percentile (30th and 31st statewide, respectively), with test scores clustered closely together. Greenbrier Eastside Elementary, while still high-performing (92nd percentile, 38th statewide), has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (55.51%) and slightly lower scores, though its science proficiency (73.3%) remains well above the state average of 44.0%.
All four schools significantly outperform state averages across every subject, highlighting the district's overall excellence. A key takeaway is that Springhill's top results are not driven by higher spending or smaller classes, suggesting other factors like teaching quality or school culture are at play. Science is a relative strength district-wide, while math shows the most variation, with Springhill's 79.4% proficiency notably outpacing the other schools' 60-64% range. This data provides a clear picture of a high-achieving area where Springhill leads, but every school offers a strong educational foundation.
