Summary:
The Drew Central School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Drew Central Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is consistently below the state averages in Arkansas, with proficiency rates ranging from 18.1% in English Language Arts to 42.1% in Algebra, compared to state averages of 34.7% and 30.9%, respectively.
Drew Central Middle School is ranked 239 out of 324 middle schools in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,002, which may present challenges in allocating resources effectively to support student learning.
Despite the school's low academic performance, its student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year suggests that class sizes are not an immediate concern. However, the combination of consistently low proficiency rates, high poverty levels, and potential resource allocation challenges indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Drew Central Middle School.
