Mineral Springs School District

The Mineral Springs School District in Arkansas operates two schools: Mineral Springs Elementary School and Mineral Springs High School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on academic measures, with low proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Mineral Springs Elementary School ranks 424 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.8%. Mineral Springs High School ranks 266 out of 305 Arkansas high schools, with an even lower proficiency rate of 3.3% in 10th-grade ELA, compared to the state average of 31.7%. Both schools have a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the schools continue to struggle academically. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the district's performance issues. The data points to a need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by the high-poverty student population in the Mineral Springs School District.
