Summary:

This analysis examines 18 elementary schools (PK-5) in zip code 72765 (Springdale, AR), all part of the Springdale School District, revealing a district with stark performance disparities.

The top-performing schools are Willis Shaw Elementary School and Bernice Young Elementary, both earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the 95th and 91st percentiles statewide, respectively. Jim D Rollins Elementary School Of Innovation showed remarkable improvement, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star rating. In contrast, Parson Hills Elementary School and Jones Elementary School face significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 11% of the state with 0-star ratings. John Tyson Elementary School is a notable outlier, achieving a 4-star rating despite a high poverty rate, outperforming schools with similar demographics like Turnbow Elementary School and Sonora Elementary School.

Key metrics show a wide range in poverty levels, with free/reduced lunch rates from 32% at Willis Shaw to over 95% at Parson Hills and Jones. Spending per student also varies dramatically, from $11,361 at Jim D Rollins to $18,402 at Harp Elementary School, yet higher spending does not guarantee higher performance. Significant grade-level performance gaps exist, such as at Linda Childers Knapp Elementary School, where 3rd grade English proficiency drops sharply in 4th grade. Overall, the district's average ranking masks extreme polarization, with some of the state's best and most challenged schools located within the same zip code.
