Best Public Schools in Alexander, AR


Summary:

The city of Alexander, Arkansas is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Springhill Elementary School and Robert L. Davis Elementary School) and one middle school (Bethel Middle School) - all part of the Bryant School District. While the elementary schools have mixed performance, Bethel Middle School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in Arkansas.

Bethel Middle School's impressive test scores, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in core subjects compared to district and state averages, have earned it a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. In contrast, the two elementary schools have more varied results, with Springhill Elementary generally outperforming Robert L. Davis Elementary. The spending per student also varies across the schools, ranging from $8,052 at Robert L. Davis Elementary to $8,771 at Springhill Elementary.

The performance gap between the high-achieving Bethel Middle School and the lower-performing elementary schools suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rate at Robert L. Davis Elementary may be a contributing factor to their academic challenges, highlighting the importance of addressing socioeconomic factors that can impact student success. Understanding and replicating the successful strategies used at Bethel Middle School could potentially benefit the other schools in the district.
