Alma School District

The Alma School District in Arkansas consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools standing out as top performers in the state.

Alma High School and Alma Middle School are the district's standout schools, consistently ranking among the top schools in Arkansas. Alma High School is particularly impressive, outperforming the state average in several key metrics, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 may contribute to its strong academic performance. Alma Middle School also excels, ranking in the top 100 middle schools in the state and outperforming the state average in proficiency rates across multiple subjects.

While Alma Intermediate School does not match the high-level performance of the high school and middle school, it still performs at or above the state average in many areas. The district-wide proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages, indicating a strong academic focus across the Alma School District. However, the district may benefit from a closer examination of the challenges faced by the Alma Intermediate School and the potential impact of resource allocation and staffing on student outcomes across the district.
