Glen Rose Middle School

Q: Is Glen Rose Middle School a good school?

Glen Rose Middle School ranks 189 th of 335 Arkansas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Glen Rose Middle School is a public middle school located in Malvern, Arkansas, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Glen Rose School District, which is ranked 136 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Glen Rose Middle School has a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.3, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 25.4%, compared to the state average of 33.8% and the district average of 28.2%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 54th out of 319 Arkansas middle schools in 2018-2019 to 189th out of 335 middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Glen Rose Middle School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 50.65% to 57.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years.

Interestingly, Glen Rose Middle School stands out in its Algebra performance, with 71.4% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (26%) and state (26.8%) averages. However, this strong performance in Algebra is not reflected in the school's overall academic proficiency rates, which are lower than nearby schools such as Fountain Lake Middle School Cobra Digital Prep Academy and Lakeside Middle School. The consistent decline in Glen Rose Middle School's statewide ranking and proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation by the school district to address the underlying factors and improve the school's overall performance.

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.
