Summary:
The Magnolia School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Magnolia High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Magnolia High School does not appear to be a standout performer within the district or the state, ranking 240 out of 305 high schools in Arkansas for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Magnolia High School struggles, with proficiency rates in core subjects like ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology consistently falling below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance in ATLAS/Geometry and ATLAS/Biology is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. This academic underperformance is concerning, especially given the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 71% in 2023-2024, suggesting a significant proportion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $12,014 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.2 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, indicating potential resource constraints that may be impacting the quality of instruction and student outcomes. The school's declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 165 out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023 to 240 out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024, further highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement at Magnolia High School.
