Miner Academy

Q: Is Miner Academy a good school?

Miner Academy ranks 161 st of 305 Arkansas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Miner Academy is a public charter high school located in Bauxite, Arkansas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 48 students. The school is part of the Bauxite School District, which is ranked 108 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miner Academy faces several challenges in terms of academic performance, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the Bauxite School District and the state of Arkansas in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2021-2022 school year, only 14.7% of Miner Academy students were proficient in ACT Aspire Math, compared to 40.4% in the Bauxite School District and 38.5% statewide. However, the school's strongest performance is in Biology, where 50% of 10th-grade students and 50% of all grades were proficient in 2023-2024, outperforming the district and state. Miner Academy also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.74% to 46.67% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding schools.

Miner Academy's performance lags behind that of nearby schools, such as Bauxite High School and Harmony Grove High School, which have higher test scores and better overall academic outcomes. The nearby Parkview Magnet High School and Graduate Arkansas Charter High School, both in the Little Rock School District, also outperform Miner Academy on most metrics. To improve student outcomes, Miner Academy may need to explore strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and implement targeted interventions to support academic growth.

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.
