Booneville School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Booneville Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state, with declining statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics.

Booneville Junior High School is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other middle schools in Booneville School District. The school's statewide ranking has dropped significantly over the past few years, going from 110th out of 318 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 217th out of 335 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, its academic performance remains below par. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics are all below the state averages, while its proficiency rates in Algebra and Geometry are higher, potentially due to a small sample size of students taking these advanced courses. The school's science proficiency rates are on par with the state average. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges, and targeted interventions and instructional strategies may be needed to improve student learning and achievement.
