Summary

Siloam Springs Middle School serves 743 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Siloam Springs School District, and it stands out as a school of extremes—boasting an elite advanced math program while facing challenges in core subjects that place it below state averages.

The school's most defining strength is its exceptional performance in Algebra, where 87.3% of tested students are proficient, compared to the state average of 36.9%. This is a massive advantage over most nearby schools, including Hellstern Middle School and Grimsley Junior High School, which excel across all subjects. However, this "Algebra effect" masks broader challenges: proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.7%), Reading (34.7%), and Mathematics (36.3%) all fall below state averages. This creates a "tale of two schools" where top math students thrive, but the majority of students struggle to meet grade-level benchmarks. The school's statewide ranking has also declined from the 72nd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, a trend that contrasts sharply with high-performing neighbors like Prairie Grove Middle School and Gravette Middle School.

Another concern is that student performance appears to drop as students transition from the district's own Siloam Springs Intermediate School (grades 5-6), which outperforms the middle school in ELA, Reading, and Math despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students. The school also spends $12,290 per student—well above the state average and more than high-performing peers like Randall G Lynch Middle School ($8,623) and Prairie Grove Junior High School ($8,840)—suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. In a region filled with top-ranked schools, Siloam Springs Middle School has a powerful "high ceiling" for its advanced students but a "low floor" for the majority, a gap the administration will need to address.
