Summary

North Little Rock Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the North Little Rock School District, with an enrollment of 1,052 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas middle schools over the past decade, with a current statewide ranking of 294 out of 324 middle schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Little Rock Middle School significantly underperforms the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.7% statewide. In math, the proficiency rate was just 10.6%, compared to 38.7% statewide. The school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, and its spending per student of $9,587 in 2018-2019 was lower than the state average for middle schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.6 over the past 3 years.

Interestingly, the school's performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, even within the same district. For example, the North Little Rock Middle School 6th Grade Campus, which is located right next door, outperforms the main campus across most subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, North Little Rock Middle School's statewide ranking and performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past decade, with no signs of meaningful improvement, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the low academic achievement and improve outcomes for students.
