Summary

Yellville-Summit Middle School in Yellville, AR, serves 287 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Yellville Summit School District, which holds a 4-star rating. The school has a very high rate of economic disadvantage, with nearly 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it maintains a strong student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8:1, allowing for relatively small class sizes.

Despite facing significant socioeconomic challenges, Yellville-Summit shows notable strengths. It consistently outperforms the state average in Science, with 50.4% of students proficient compared to the state's 44%. The school also excels in advanced math, with 50% of students taking the Algebra exam proficient in 2024-2025, dramatically higher than district and state averages. However, general math proficiency has been volatile, dropping to 28.6% in 2024-2025 before recovering to 43.6% in 2025-2026. In English Language Arts, 5th and 6th graders perform below the state average, but by 7th and 8th grade, they perform above it—for example, 8th Grade Reading scores are 45.8% versus the state's 38.4%—suggesting effective instruction that closes gaps in upper grades.

Compared to nearby schools, Yellville-Summit is the second-lowest ranked in its area, ahead of only Flippin Middle School, which also has a 100% poverty rate but lower literacy proficiency. It is significantly outperformed by Bergman Middle School, Valley Springs Middle School, and Pinkston Middle School, all of which have much lower poverty rates. The school's 3-star rating is a solid achievement given its demographic profile, but it faces an uphill battle to compete with more affluent neighbors. The school's state ranking has declined from 54th (84th percentile) in 2023-2024 to 116th (65th percentile) in 2025-2026, a key area of concern for parents.
