Summary

Maumelle High School is a public high school in Maumelle, AR, serving 869 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Pulaski County Special School District. The school has a strong graduation rate of around 91%, but its academic proficiency on state assessments consistently falls below both district and state averages across nearly all subjects, including English, reading, algebra, and biology.

The most striking comparison is with Maumelle Charter High School, located just 1.43 miles away. Maumelle Charter nearly doubles Maumelle High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.5% vs. 26.3%) and reading (53.2% vs. 29.9%), while spending less per student ($12,051 vs. $14,898). This performance gap is a key differentiator, especially since both schools serve the same community. Maumelle High School also has a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (about 39% qualifying for free or reduced lunch) compared to Maumelle Charter (about 21%).

There is one notable bright spot: Maumelle High School's 10th-grade Geometry proficiency rate of 25% is well above the district average of 14.2% and the state average of 16.5%. However, the school's overall state ranking has dropped from the 45th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a downward trend. While the school successfully moves most students to graduation, the consistent underperformance on state tests suggests a systemic challenge that requires a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address.
