Best Public Schools in Atkins, AR


Summary:

The city of Atkins, Arkansas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Atkins Elementary School, Atkins High School, and Atkins Middle School. These schools operate under the Atkins School District and face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three campuses.

Among the standout schools in the district, Atkins Middle School emerges as the top performer, ranking 68th out of 335 Arkansas middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in subjects like mathematics, science, and reading, with particularly strong results in 7th and 8th grade mathematics. In contrast, Atkins High School, while not the top performer, still manages to outperform the state and district in English Language Arts and Reading for 9th and 10th grades, potentially due to its low student-teacher ratio of 4.9 to 1.

Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by the district, the data reveals areas of strength and potential improvement across the schools. While Atkins Middle School stands out as the academic leader, the district as a whole could benefit from a closer examination of mathematics performance at the high school level and reading proficiency at the elementary and middle school levels, where the schools lag behind state averages.
