Summary:
The Clarksville School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Clarksville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 152nd out of 330 Arkansas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 231st out of 324 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star.
Clarksville Middle School's proficiency rates in core academic subjects, including ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science, are all below the state averages for Arkansas. The largest gaps are in Mathematics (30.4% vs. 38.7% statewide) and Science (32.1% vs. 38.1% statewide). Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students (70.62%) who receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
While the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,582, and its student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 14.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, the data suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. Further analysis of the school's budget and resource allocation, as well as targeted interventions to address the needs of the student population, could help identify opportunities for improvement and support the academic success of the students at Clarksville Middle School.
