Summary

Ramay Junior High School is a 7th and 8th-grade school in Fayetteville, AR, serving 761 students as part of the highly-rated Fayetteville School District. The school has shown a positive upward trend in recent years, climbing from the 46th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026, though it remains a middle-of-the-pack performer compared to its district peer, Woodland Junior High School.

The most defining feature of Ramay is its exceptional performance in advanced math. The school dramatically outperforms the district and state in Algebra and Geometry, with 8th graders achieving a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Geometry in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 49.5%. However, this success contrasts sharply with significant underperformance in core 8th-grade subjects. Only 24% of 8th graders were proficient in standard math, and literacy rates hovered around 37-38%, both well below district averages. This creates a "two schools" phenomenon: a high-achieving advanced-track program that rivals the best schools in the area, alongside a standard-track program that struggles to meet district benchmarks.

Ramay spends a significant $13,836 per student and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, indicating high resource allocation. For comparison, the high-performing Woodland Junior High spends slightly more ($14,340) but has a higher ratio (14.6:1), while the similarly-resourced Farmington Junior High School spends much less ($9,732) with a similar ratio. The school's positive ranking trend and strong advanced math program provide a solid foundation, but the primary challenge will be translating that success into broader academic gains for all students, particularly in 8th-grade core subjects.
