Summary:
The Vilonia School District in Arkansas is home to two middle schools: Frank Mitchell Intermediate School and Vilonia Middle School. While both schools serve students in grades 4-8, Vilonia Middle School stands out as the top-performing middle school in the district.
Vilonia Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 25 middle schools in Arkansas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores exceed the district and state averages across subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science. Vilonia Middle School's Mathematics and Algebra proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 59% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 100% of 8th graders proficient or better in Algebra.
In contrast, while Frank Mitchell Intermediate School has respectable test scores, it does not match the exceptional performance of Vilonia Middle School. The school's student-teacher ratio is higher, and its per-student spending is lower than Vilonia Middle. However, both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 45-47%, highlighting the need for equitable funding and resources to support all students in the district.
