Summary:
The Nettleton School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Nettleton Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Nettleton Junior High School is an underperforming middle school, ranking 281 out of 335 Arkansas middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across multiple subject areas, including ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, Algebra, and Science. For example, the school's proficiency rate in ATLAS/Mathematics for All Grades is just 14.8%, compared to the state average of 36.4%. Additionally, the school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is also below the state averages in English, Math, Science, and Reading.
Despite the low academic performance, Nettleton Junior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which could indicate a focus on providing more individualized attention to students. However, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, suggesting a high percentage of students from low-income families. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement.
