Summary:
In zip code 72949 (Ozark, Arkansas), there is only one middle school, Pleasant View Campus School, which serves grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Mulberry Pleasant View Bi County School District.
Pleasant View Campus School has a total enrollment of 127 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, with per-student spending at $14,147. However, the school faces extreme socioeconomic challenges, as 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Academic performance is significantly below state averages across all subjects, with overall proficiency rates in 2025-2026 ranging from 25.8% in Reading to 26.8% in Science, compared to state averages of around 40-44%. The school's state ranking places it in the 23rd percentile (253 out of 327 middle schools), earning a 1-star rating, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 23% of Arkansas middle schools over the past three years.
Despite these challenges, there are some positive trends. Proficiency rates improved in three out of four core subjects from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, with the largest gain in English Language Arts (+5.6 percentage points). However, performance varies by grade level, with 6th and 7th graders consistently outperforming 5th and 8th graders in every subject. For example, in Mathematics, 36% of 6th graders and 34.3% of 7th graders were proficient, compared to only 18.2% of 5th graders and 16.7% of 8th graders. This suggests that while some interventions may be helping, the school still has significant work to do, particularly in supporting its older students as they approach high school.
