Elementary Schools in Midland School District


Summary:

The Midland School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Midland Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science falling below the state averages.

Midland Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 244 out of 487 Arkansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 324 out of 497 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating out of 5. This decline in performance is concerning, especially given the school's high percentage of students (68.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is also slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.

While the school's higher-than-average per-student spending suggests that resources are being allocated to the school, the significant gaps in academic proficiency and the declining statewide ranking suggest that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The district and school leaders may need to re-evaluate their strategies and resource allocation to better support the needs of the student population and improve academic performance at Midland Elementary School.
