Summary:
The Ozark Middle School is the sole middle school in the Ozark School District in Arkansas. Serving grades 6-7, the school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 107 out of 330 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 233 out of 335 middle schools in 2023-2024.
Academically, Ozark Middle School's proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages for Arkansas. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 53% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic struggles and the need for targeted interventions to support student learning.
In terms of resources, Ozark Middle School had a per-student spending of $8,691 in the 2018-2019 school year, which raises questions about how these funds are being allocated to support student achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Ozark Middle School faces a combination of academic, demographic, and resource allocation challenges that will require a comprehensive approach to address and improve the school's performance in the coming years.
