Summary:
Bald Knob School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Bald Knob Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Bald Knob Middle School appears to be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 210 out of 335 Arkansas middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school has a student enrollment of 258 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which is slightly lower than the state average. However, a significant portion of the student population (58.14%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, Bald Knob Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state average across all grade levels, with some exceptions in 7th grade performance.
While the school's ACT Aspire scores show more variability, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below, the overall trend suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed. The school's statewide ranking has also declined from 167 out of 330 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 210 out of 335 in 2023-2024, indicating the school is losing ground compared to its peers. Addressing these issues, particularly in the areas of equity and resource allocation, may be crucial for improving student outcomes and the school's overall performance.
