Hackler Intermediate School

Summary:

Hackler Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Mountain Home, Arkansas, part of the Mountain Home School District. With 830 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, Hackler consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

Hackler Intermediate School's strong performance is evident in its test scores, which exceed the state averages in English Language Arts (38.9% vs. 33.8%), Reading (39.4% vs. 34.1%), and Mathematics (48.2% vs. 36.4%). The school has maintained a high statewide ranking, placing in the top 30% of Arkansas elementary schools in recent years, including a 4-star rating in 2020-2021. However, its ranking has declined slightly in more recent years, from 123 out of 496 schools to 163 out of 497 schools, suggesting other schools in the state may be improving at a faster pace.

Hackler Intermediate School serves a population with a higher level of economic need, with 45.9% to 56.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is higher than the state average, and may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student body. When compared to nearby schools, such as Yellville-Summit Elementary School, Hackler generally outperforms them in academic achievement, though Yellville-Summit has higher proficiency rates in some subject areas, like Mathematics (53.3% vs. 48.2% at Hackler).

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
