Summary

Brookland Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-9 in Brookland, Arkansas, with 706 students. The school is part of the Brookland School District, which is ranked 96 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Brookland Junior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its test scores are generally below the state averages across subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.3%), Reading (29.7%), and Mathematics (37.2%) were all lower than the state averages (34.7%, 35.3%, and 38.7% respectively). Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from a high of 30th in 2015-2016 to 162nd in 2024-2025, indicating a need to address the root causes of this performance decline.

Interestingly, the school's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby districts, such as Valley View School District (ranked 6th in the state) and Greene County Technical School District (ranked 64th). Additionally, Brookland Middle School, which serves grades 4-6 in the same district, generally outperforms Brookland Junior High School on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting a potential need to align curriculum and instructional practices between the two schools.
