Arnall Middle School has maintained a stable, mid-range state ranking over the past three years, holding a 3-star rating and sitting at the 53rd percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, after a slightly higher 59th percentile in 2023–2024. The school’s clearest academic strength is 8th-grade science, where it has outperformed the state average in consecutive years—33.5% proficient versus 28.8% statewide in 2024–2025, and 33.3% versus 29.7% in 2025–2026. This is the only subject where the school exceeds the state benchmark. In mathematics, the school trails both district and state averages across all grade levels, though 6th-grade math improved from 28.8% to 33.8% year-over-year. Social studies also showed positive momentum, rising from 31.3% to 35.9% proficiency, though it remains below the state average of 40.2%. For the prior year, 7th-grade ELA stood out as a bright spot at 43.0% proficiency, exceeding the state’s 40.7%.
Beyond test scores, Arnall Middle School benefits from a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0%, which is better than both the district (19.2%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, which can support more individualized attention. With 60.54% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income population yet still achieves mid-range rankings and a notable science advantage. Per-student spending is $13,045. The upcoming release of ELA scores in December will provide a fuller picture of current academic performance, but the available data suggests a stable school with a distinct strength in science and areas for growth in mathematics.
