Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Brookland Middle School in Brookland, AR, serves 755 students in grades 4 through 6 and is part of the highly-ranked Brookland School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, where 65.3% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a remarkable 21.2 percentage points above the state average. This math proficiency rate is the highest among comparable area schools, surpassing Valley View Junior High School (58.5%) and Greene County Tech Middle School (60.7%). The school also shows consistent year-over-year growth across all subjects, with English Language Arts rising from 41.7% to 51% and Science from 43.3% to 57.6% over three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Brookland Middle School serves a notably lower percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with only 35.76% receiving free or reduced lunch, while many peers like Oak Grove Middle School and Annie Camp Junior High School report 100% free/reduced lunch rates. Despite a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.5:1—compared to 12.4:1 at Valley View Junior High and 13.7:1 at Westside Middle School—the school achieves superior academic results, suggesting efficient instructional practices. Additionally, the school spends $9,786 per student, less than many lower-performing area schools, yet delivers top-tier outcomes, highlighting effective resource allocation.

An interesting finding is the performance drop between Brookland Middle School and its same-district counterpart, Brookland Junior High School, where scores decline significantly—for example, math proficiency falls from 65.3% to 48.6%. This suggests a challenge in maintaining academic momentum as students transition to higher grades, a key area for the district to explore. Overall, Brookland Middle School is a standout in Northeast Arkansas, with strong STEM programs and a track record of consistent improvement that makes it a compelling choice for families seeking a high-performing school environment.
