Summary:
The Cedarville School District contains a single middle school, Cedarville Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 and has a total enrollment of 207 students.
Cedarville Middle School shows a mixed but improving academic profile. The school's standout strength is in Mathematics, where its overall proficiency rate of 46% in the 2025-2026 school year exceeded the state average of 44.1%, and every grade level met or exceeded the state average in this subject. The school also demonstrated significant year-over-year improvement, with proficiency rates increasing across all core subjects, including a 7.5% jump in Math and a 7.9% increase in Science. However, the school struggles in English Language Arts and Reading, where proficiency rates of 34.2% and 37.4% respectively fall below state averages. A notable finding is the performance gap between grade levels: 7th graders outperformed the state average in all four subjects, while 8th graders significantly underperformed, particularly in Science (26.6% vs. 42.9%) and English Language Arts (20.4% vs. 37.2%). The school serves a very high-poverty population, with 98.55% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and spends $13,652 per student.
Despite the positive trajectory in test scores, the school's state ranking has dropped from the 52nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 46th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that other schools in Arkansas are improving at a faster pace. The school's student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.2:1. While the school has established a clear bright spot in Mathematics, the significant challenges in literacy and the stark contrast between 7th and 8th grade performance suggest areas that need targeted attention to ensure all students are making progress.
