Summary:
The Hope School District in Arkansas is home to three middle schools: Hope Academy of Public Service, Beryl Henry Upper Elementary School, and Yerger Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 5-8 and are located in a high-poverty area, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rates across all three schools.
Among the three middle schools, Hope Academy of Public Service stands out as the top performer. The school consistently outpaces the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Algebra proficiency rates. In contrast, Beryl Henry Upper Elementary School and Yerger Junior High School have significantly lower test scores across all subjects and grade levels.
The data also reveals disparities in school funding and resources, with Beryl Henry Upper Elementary School spending the most per student at $10,820, followed by Yerger Junior High School at $12,490, and Hope Academy of Public Service at $9,212. These differences in resource allocation may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
