Summary

Sheridan Middle School in Sheridan, AR, serves 564 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the high-performing Sheridan School District, which ranks in the top 17% of Arkansas districts. The school has shown impressive improvement, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star rating and climbing from 121st to 56th in state rankings over the past few years. With 41.67% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school reflects a moderate level of economic diversity in the community.

The standout feature of Sheridan Middle School is its exceptional Algebra performance, with 85.7% of students scoring proficient—nearly double the district average and more than double the state average. This far exceeds nearby schools like Bauxite Middle School (73.5%) and Harmony Grove Junior High School (20.5%). However, this strength is concentrated in advanced math; 6th-grade math proficiency (42.4%) actually falls below the state average (45.1%), suggesting a two-tiered math program where top students excel while others may need more support. Overall, the school outperforms state averages in all core subjects, including ELA, reading, math, and science.

Compared to its district peer, East End Middle School, Sheridan is slightly lower-ranked (56th vs. 42nd) and less consistent, though it leads in math and Algebra. Interestingly, Sheridan spends the most per student ($10,206) among nearby schools but has the largest class sizes (17:1 student-teacher ratio), while Harmony Grove Middle School achieves a much smaller ratio of 11:1 with lower spending. This suggests Sheridan’s higher spending may go toward specialized programs like its advanced Algebra track rather than reducing class sizes.
