Flippin Middle School

Summary:

Flippin Middle School is a public middle school in Flippin, Arkansas, serving 243 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Flippin School District, which is ranked 104 out of 252 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Flippin Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 96th out of 335 Arkansas middle schools in 2023-2024 (rated 4 stars) to 207th out of 318 in 2021-2022 (rated 2 stars), suggesting inconsistent performance. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with the exception of higher proficiency rates in ATLAS/Science (45.8%) and ATLAS/Algebra (33.3%). Flippin Middle School has consistently had a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4 in 2022-2023, compared to nearby Pinkston Middle School (15.7) and Yellville-Summit Middle School (9.3), may be a strength in supporting these students.

While Flippin Middle School faces challenges in its overall academic performance, the school's strengths in Science and Algebra, as well as its lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to Pinkston Middle School, suggest opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to support the predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
