Summary:
There is one middle school, Maumelle Charter Middle School, in the Academics Plus Public Charter Schools district, serving grades 4 through 7 in Maumelle, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 664 students.
As the sole middle school in the district, Maumelle Charter Middle School is a standout performer, consistently exceeding state averages in nearly every subject. In the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Math, and Science were 15 to 17 percentage points higher than the state average. The school’s strongest subject is Mathematics, where overall proficiency reached 60.4% compared to the state’s 44.1%, and it showed a remarkable 10-point year-over-year improvement. However, the school’s state ranking has fluctuated, moving from a 5-star rating in the 92nd percentile in 2023-2024 to a 4-star rating in the 81st percentile the following year, before rebounding to a 4-star rating in the 90th percentile in 2025-2026.
An interesting finding is the “Algebra paradox”: while the school’s overall Algebra proficiency (66.7%) far exceeds the district average (27.3%) and state average (36.9%), its 7th graders taking Algebra scored 66.7% proficient, which is 22.6 points below the state average for that grade. This suggests the school is enrolling a broader group of 7th graders in advanced coursework, an equitable practice. Additionally, 7th grade scores in ELA, Reading, and Math are the lowest among all grades, but 7th graders excel in Science, outperforming all other grades. With only 26.36% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a relatively affluent population, which is a key factor in its strong academic performance.
