A great school! Teachers are great! I did school choice and am so thankful I did so. We are very proud that our son goes to Caldwell Elem. Thank you to the teachers and staff at Caldwell for all you do!

Yes, I am disgruntled about test scores. My child has had all As throughout his/her near completed elementary school career. The catch is, so have the majority of students at Caldwell. The scores aren't a reliable judge, unfortunately.

Some one said "don't believe the scores". My gosh, that is the very thing that you can believe. They must be disgruntled about something. We had a great experience there.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arkansas used the Benchmark Exam to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in literacy and grades 3 through 8 in math. The Benchmark Exam is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Arkansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
