Summary

Oakdale Middle School in Rogers, AR, serves 809 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Rogers School District, a 4-star district ranked in the top 23% of Arkansas. However, Oakdale itself is a 2-star school, ranking in the 38th percentile statewide, and its academic performance lags significantly behind its district peers and the state average in core subjects like English Language Arts (30.2% proficient vs. 46.6% district) and math (39.2% vs. 53.4% district). About 66% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate nearly double that of nearby Elmwood Middle School (39.5%) and more than triple that of Bright Field Middle School in the Bentonville School District (4.6%).

Despite these challenges, Oakdale shows a notable bright spot: 100% of its students taking the Algebra I exam were proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 48.4% and the state average of 36.9%. This suggests a highly effective advanced math program, even as most students struggle with grade-level math. Additionally, the school appears to help close performance gaps as students progress: 6th graders are far behind state averages, but by 8th grade, Oakdale students match or exceed state proficiency in math (42% vs. 36.2% statewide) and nearly close the gap in English Language Arts (35% vs. 37.2% statewide).

Oakdale’s per-student spending of $10,862 is competitive with higher-performing district peers like Kirksey Middle School ($10,202), indicating that financial resources alone are not the issue. The school has experienced a steady decline over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star ranking in 2015-2016 to its current 2-star status. This trend, combined with the stark contrast in performance and poverty rates among nearby schools, highlights the significant socioeconomic challenges Oakdale faces—and the need for targeted strategies to support its high-needs student population.

Disinterested administration. Several teachers have poor classroom management. Disrespectful to parents and students. No encouragement or motivation for the students who are there to learn. Close Quote

The district finally put a principal in that school who hires good teachers and understands how to inspire them to put students first. Close Quote
