Summary:
The city of Leslie, Arkansas has a single public middle school, Leslie Intermediate School, which serves grades 4-6 and is part of the Searcy County School District. Despite having a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, Leslie Intermediate School is performing well academically, with test scores generally above the state average.
The school's performance on ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, and Science assessments is strong, exceeding the state average. On the ACT Aspire assessments, the school also outperforms the state, particularly in English and Reading. However, the school's ACT Aspire Math scores are mixed, with 4th grade above the state average but 5th and 6th grades below. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 and higher-than-average spending per student of $10,584 suggest the district is allocating resources effectively to support student learning and create a positive learning environment.
While the school faces significant challenges due to the high percentage (98.42%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, the data indicates that Leslie Intermediate School is providing a quality education and effectively supporting its students. The school's strengths and areas for improvement provide valuable insights that can inform future planning and decision-making to ensure continued success for the students.
