Morrilton Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Morrilton Intermediate School in Morrilton, AR, serves 539 students in grades 4 through 6 within the South Conway County School District, a mid-sized school in a community where all students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional strength in mathematics, where 52.2% of students are proficient—8.1 points above the state average—and scores have been steadily rising over the past three years. However, this success is not mirrored in English Language Arts and Reading, where only about 33% of students are proficient, significantly below state averages. This creates a unique "math-first" profile compared to nearby schools like the high-performing Pottsville Middle Grade, which excels in both math and reading. Even within its own district, Morrilton Junior High School shows much stronger literacy scores, suggesting a potential gap in reading instruction between the intermediate and junior high levels.

An interesting trend is the "6th grade cliff" in math: while 4th graders achieve a 57.7% proficiency rate, this drops to 43.7% by 6th grade—a steeper decline than the state average. This suggests that the school's math advantage may fade as curriculum complexity increases. Despite serving a student body with significant economic challenges, the school achieves above-average math results, pointing to effective math instruction or interventions. With per-student spending of $10,246—moderate compared to peers like Ruth Doyle Middle School ($11,652) but higher than Pottsville Middle Grade ($8,990)—the school demonstrates that focused resource allocation, rather than total spending, can drive success in specific subjects.
