Summary

Marmaduke High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Marmaduke School District in Marmaduke, Arkansas. With 281 students, the school is ranked 134 out of 291 Arkansas high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Marmaduke High School's test scores are generally below the state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics, the school stands out with its relatively strong performance in Biology. In 2024-2025, 46.8% of 10th graders and 45.1% of all grades were proficient or better in Biology, significantly higher than the state averages of 31.4% and 37.7%, respectively. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.84% to 58.86%, suggests a need to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools like Corning High School, Piggott High School, Greene City Technical High School, and Paragould High School, Marmaduke High School's performance is generally on par or slightly below, with similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. However, the school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates a stable level of performance, and its strength in Biology could be an area to build upon to provide more well-rounded educational opportunities for its students.
