Summary

Mayflower High School is a small public high school in Mayflower, AR, serving 348 students in grades 9-12, and is part of the Mayflower School District, which holds a 3-star rating. The school has a low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, offering a more personalized learning environment than larger nearby schools like Conway High School (17.2:1) and Maumelle High School (13.1:1). While 62.64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school has shown a remarkable "comeback" story, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, ranking in the 52nd percentile of Arkansas high schools.

A standout strength is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra, with 9th graders achieving a 35.2% proficiency rate—well above the state average of 25.3% and dramatically outperforming nearby schools like Joe T. Robinson High School (13.6%) and Maumelle High School (14.3%). However, this contrasts with struggles in English Language Arts, where 9th graders scored 22.6% proficiency versus the state average of 38%, suggesting a potential imbalance in curriculum focus. The school also boasts a low and improving dropout rate of just 0.5% in 2024-2025, significantly better than Sylvan Hills High School (3.5%) and Conway High School (2.6%).

Graduation rates are a bright spot, with a 93.6% rate in 2024-2025, exceeding the state average of 90.1% and outperforming Joe T. Robinson High School (83.2%). Interestingly, Bigelow High School, just 11 miles away with a similar enrollment and higher poverty rate, significantly outperforms Mayflower in nearly every academic metric, achieving a 4-star rating. This comparison suggests that recent improvements at Mayflower—such as Algebra proficiency jumping from 6.4% to 35.2%—are likely due to changes in instruction or school culture rather than spending, as Mayflower spends $11,728 per student, less than many peers.
