Summary

Mayflower Middle School serves 304 students in grades 5 through 8 in the Mayflower School District, a small, mid-tier district ranked 118th out of 251 in Arkansas.

This school presents a fascinating "Jekyll and Hyde" profile. Its biggest challenge is the extremely low academic preparedness of its incoming 5th graders—only 14.5% were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 45%. However, by 8th grade, these same students outperform the state average in all subjects, including math (42.5% vs. 36.2%) and science (45.3% vs. 42.9%). This remarkable turnaround suggests the school provides significant academic value, effectively closing a 30-point gap over four years. This is achieved with a budget of just $9,965 per student, far less than nearby schools like Pinnacle View Middle School ($17,867) or Ruth Doyle Middle School ($11,652).

Compared to peers, Mayflower's overall scores are lower than top-performing schools like Maumelle Charter Middle School, but its 8th-grade results are competitive with some Conway School District schools. The school also serves a population with significant economic need, as indicated by a free/reduced lunch rate of 63.82%. While its recent state ranking dipped to the 41st percentile (2 stars), its ability to accelerate student growth from a weak foundation is a clear strength. For parents, the key takeaway is that Mayflower is a high-value educational engine that fights against significant headwinds, turning struggling 5th graders into successful 8th graders.
