Summary:
The city of Mountainburg, Arkansas is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Mountainburg Elementary School, Mountainburg High School, and Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy. These schools are part of the Mountainburg School District and serve a predominantly low-income population, with all three schools having very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients.
Among the three schools, Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy stands out for its strong performance on certain test scores, particularly in 6th grade English Language Arts and Science, where students outperformed the state averages. In contrast, the other two schools generally perform below the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, though Mountainburg Elementary School does have some bright spots, such as higher-than-average 3rd grade proficiency in English Language Arts and Science.
The schools in Mountainburg exhibit a wide range of student-teacher ratios, from a very low 3.3 students per teacher at Mountainburg High School to 14.2 students per teacher at Mountainburg Elementary School. This variation in resource allocation may be an area to explore further in terms of its potential impact on student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the Mountainburg School District could benefit from a focus on improving academic achievement, particularly in core subject areas, to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
