John Tyson Elementary School

Summary:

John Tyson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springdale, Arkansas, serving 556 students in grades K-5. Despite being part of the Springdale School District, which is ranked 145 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and rated 2 stars out of 5, John Tyson Elementary consistently stands out as a high-performing school.

John Tyson Elementary School ranks 94th out of 497 schools in Arkansas and receives a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the Springdale School District and Arkansas state averages across all grade levels. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ACT Aspire assessments were also notably higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English and Math. This level of consistent excellence is noteworthy, especially considering that John Tyson Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (70.32% to 76.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Parson Hills Elementary, Thurman G. Smith Elementary, and Harp Elementary, John Tyson Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas. This suggests that the school is providing a higher-quality education and better academic outcomes for its students, despite serving a population with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, coupled with the district's overall low ranking, may present some challenges in terms of providing individualized attention and support to all students.

Open Quote My grandson transferred from Sonora (K) mid-term and this school is more advanced in the learning than his previous school. I am amazed, however, it has made a little more challenging for him due to his being behind in his word learning vocabulary which I am home schooling him with abcmouse.com to help guide him in the spelling and pronunciation of the words. If all schools in the same area would teach at the same rate as John Tyson we would have a better transition for students that have to move. I am excited to see his willingness to catch up with his classmates. Its hard enough on kids to make new friends in the middle of a school term but when they are
not at the same level of learning it makes the transition so much harder not only for them in school but also when they come home frustrated. I hope his new teacher MS Boogaart can be patient through his transition, hopefully giving him a chance to catch up, with understanding. Close Quote

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.
