Summary

Booneville Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-9 in Booneville, Arkansas, with 298 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high poverty levels, lower academic performance, and declining statewide rankings compared to other Arkansas middle schools.

Booneville Junior High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 27.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 30% proficient in math, well below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 110 out of 318 in 2021-2022 to 172 out of 324 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance. Additionally, the school struggles particularly in math and algebra, with only 12.1% of students proficient in Algebra, much lower than the state average of 30.9%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Lavaca Middle School and East Hills Middle School, generally outperform Booneville Junior High School on academic measures, despite serving similar or higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that Booneville may have room for improvement in its educational practices and resource allocation, as the school's lower per-student spending of $10,344 in 2018-2019 compared to nearby schools may be a contributing factor to its challenges.
