Summary

Eureka Springs Middle School, nestled in the scenic Ozark mountains, serves 192 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated Eureka Springs School District.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra, with 63.2% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the state average of 36.9%. This suggests the school is successfully accelerating math learning for a broader group of students. However, the school has experienced significant performance volatility, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2024 to a 3-star rating in 2026. While it has historically outperformed nearby schools like Green Forest Intermed School and Berryville Middle School, the most recent data shows a narrowing gap. In English Language Arts, Eureka Springs (39.3% proficient) is now only slightly ahead of Berryville (36.9%), and in Mathematics, it actually trails Berryville (43.5% vs. 44.4%). A notable area of concern is 7th grade, where students scored below state averages in ELA, Reading, and Science.

Despite having the highest per-pupil spending ($15,246) and the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (10.7:1) among its neighbors, Eureka Springs is no longer the clear top performer in core subjects. Berryville Middle School, with significantly less funding and larger class sizes, now matches or exceeds Eureka Springs in Math and Science. This raises questions about resource efficiency. The school's structural advantages—small classes and high spending—are not currently translating into superior outcomes compared to its more efficient neighbor. For parents, this means Eureka Springs offers strong potential, especially in advanced math, but the school is in a period of transition where its historical edge in core subjects is eroding.
