Mansfield Middle School

Summary:

Mansfield Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Mansfield, Arkansas, with 219 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 10 to 1. The school is part of the Mansfield School District, which is ranked 128 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mansfield Middle School faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores across subjects and grade levels compared to the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.1%), Reading (29.2%), and Mathematics (39.8%) were all lower than the state averages (33.8%, 34.1%, and 36.4% respectively). However, the school's Algebra proficiency rate of 77.7% is significantly higher than the state average of 26.8%, suggesting a strength in math instruction. Additionally, Mansfield Middle School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.6% to 77.83% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Lavaca Middle School and Greenwood Junior High School, Mansfield Middle School's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores and lower free/reduced lunch rates at the neighboring schools. Additionally, Mansfield Middle School's statewide ranking has declined from 64th out of 275 Arkansas middle schools in 2014-2015 to 130th out of 335 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $9,449 suggests the Mansfield School District is investing resources into the school, which could be leveraged to improve overall academic 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.
