Centerton Gamble Elementary

Q: Is Centerton Gamble Elementary a good school?

Centerton Gamble Elementary ranks 123 rd of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Centerton Gamble Elementary is a public elementary school serving 747 students in grades K-4 in Centerton, Arkansas, which is part of the highly-rated Bentonville School District. While the school maintains a consistent 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance lags behind many of the other elementary schools in the Bentonville district.

Centerton Gamble Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the Bentonville School District and Arkansas state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 40.5% of Centerton Gamble students were proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts, compared to 56.4% for the Bentonville district and 33.8% for the state. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.1%) compared to nearby schools like Willowbrook Elementary (6.2%), Cooper Elementary (28.96%), and Elm Tree Elementary (16.76%). Additionally, Centerton Gamble has a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.6, while these other schools have lower ratios.

Despite these challenges, Centerton Gamble Elementary has maintained a consistent 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating that the school is still performing well overall within the Bentonville School District. However, the school's relatively lower test scores and higher free and reduced-price lunch rates suggest that it may benefit from additional resources or targeted interventions to better support its students and improve academic outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
