Summary:
The Mulberry Pleasant View Bi County School District contains a single middle school, Pleasant View Campus School, which serves 127 students in grades 5 through 8 in Ozark, Arkansas.
This school is notable for its high level of investment in students, spending $14,147 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1. However, every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty community. Academically, the school holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom 23% of Arkansas middle schools. Proficiency rates across all subjects are low, ranging from about 25% to 27%, which is roughly 10 to 18 percentage points below the state average. There is a clear "resource vs. results" paradox here: despite strong funding and small class sizes, test scores remain a challenge, likely due to the significant socioeconomic hurdles faced by the student body.
On a positive note, the school showed meaningful year-over-year improvement from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, with English Language Arts proficiency rising by 5.6 percentage points and Reading by 4.7 points. Performance varies by grade level: 7th graders are the strongest, with proficiency rates around 34%, while 8th graders struggle the most, with rates as low as 16.7% in math. Science has historically been a relative strength. Overall, Pleasant View Campus School is a small, well-funded school facing significant academic challenges, but recent trends suggest some progress is being made.
