Summary:
The Hot Springs School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Hot Springs Junior Academy, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Hot Springs Junior Academy does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other middle schools in the state.
The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently below the state and district averages. Additionally, Hot Springs Junior Academy has been ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas middle schools for the past three school years, with a ranking of 238 out of 335 middle schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. The school is also rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively low performance compared to other schools in the state.
While the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a relatively high per-student spending, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that Hot Springs Junior Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement comprehensive improvements to its curriculum, teaching practices, and overall educational approach to better serve the local community.
