Q: Is Trumann Middle School a good school?

Trumann Middle School ranks 237 th of 335 Arkansas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Trumann Middle School is a public middle school in Trumann, Arkansas, serving 300 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Trumann School District, which is ranked 203 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trumann Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages and nearby schools. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates around 20-30% compared to the state averages of 33-36%. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a low-income student population. While Trumann Middle School spends $9,344 per student, which is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Brookland Junior High School and Valley View Junior High School, which have significantly higher test scores, higher school rankings, and lower free and reduced lunch rates.

Trumann Middle School's consistent low performance, with a ranking between 222 and 264 over the past 10 years and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time, suggests that the school has struggled to improve student outcomes over an extended period. The high poverty rate and relatively low spending per student may be contributing factors to the school's challenges, and significant interventions and support may be needed to help Trumann Middle School improve and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
