Summary:

Maynard High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Maynard, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 240 students. The school is part of the Maynard School District, which is ranked 158 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maynard High School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school has consistently had very high free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 98.75% to 100% over the past three school years, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics were all significantly lower than the state averages. When compared to nearby schools like Corning High School and Pocahontas High School, Maynard High School generally performs worse on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science.

The data also suggests that Maynard High School's performance has been declining over time. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from a high of 87 out of 269 high schools in 2015-2016 to 237 out of 290 high schools in 2020-2021. This trend, combined with the school's high poverty rates and low test scores, indicates that Maynard High School may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning.

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.
