Summary:
The Arkadelphia School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Goza Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and varying proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to district and state averages.
Goza Middle School's statewide ranking has ranged from 153rd out of 335 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 186th out of 330 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on ATLAS and ACT Aspire tests shows that it is below the state average in most subjects and grade levels, but above the district average in some areas, such as 8th grade Algebra. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
While the data provides limited information for comparative analysis, it suggests that Goza Middle School may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes, particularly in areas where it is underperforming compared to state averages. The school's socioeconomic challenges could be a contributing factor to its performance, and the district may need to explore targeted strategies to support the school and its students.
