Middle Schools in Brookland School District

The Brookland School District in Arkansas is home to two middle schools: Brookland Junior High School and Brookland Middle School. Based on the available data, Brookland Middle School appears to be the standout performer in the district, outpacing its counterpart and the district/state averages across multiple academic measures.

Brookland Middle School boasts higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.3% vs. 32.3% at Brookland Junior High and 39.3% district average), Math (50% vs. 37.2% at Brookland Junior High and 48.4% district average), and Science (48.1% vs. 35.8% at Brookland Junior High and 44.8% district average) for the 2024-2025 school year. This strong academic performance suggests Brookland Middle School may be the stronger of the two middle schools in the district.

While both schools have similar free/reduced lunch rates around 33-34%, Brookland Middle School's student-teacher ratio of 19.4 is significantly higher than Brookland Junior High's 12.5. This difference in staffing levels may be a contributing factor to Brookland Middle's superior academic outcomes. Additionally, Brookland Junior High spends more per student ($7,873) compared to Brookland Middle ($6,800), but this higher spending does not appear to translate to better academic performance.
