Summary

Maumelle Middle School in Maumelle, AR, serves 498 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Pulaski County Special School District, a district that ranks in the bottom half of the state.

This school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below both district and state averages. In the most recent school year, only 15.5% of students were proficient in mathematics, a rate less than half the district average and far below the state average. English Language Arts proficiency was 24.9%, and science proficiency was 21%. This underperformance is consistent across all three grade levels, indicating a systemic issue. The school has also experienced a steep decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 36th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 11th percentile in 2025-2026. Notably, the school spends a high amount per student ($15,706), yet this investment has not translated into improved outcomes, creating a "high spending, low results" paradox.

A stark contrast exists with Maumelle Charter Middle School, located just over a mile away, which is a top performer (90th percentile) with a 60.4% math proficiency rate. While Maumelle Middle has a higher rate of economic disadvantage (58.84% free/reduced lunch) compared to the charter school (26.36%), it still underperforms dramatically when compared to schools with similar poverty levels, such as Sylvan Hills Middle School. The school did show a brief glimmer of hope in Algebra proficiency in 2023-2024, but that success was not sustained. For parents, these insights suggest that Maumelle Middle School is a school in significant distress, with a critical weakness in mathematics and a declining trajectory that warrants careful consideration.
