Middle Schools in Searcy School District

The Searcy School District in Arkansas is home to two strong-performing middle schools: Southwest Middle School and Ahlf Junior High School. Both schools demonstrate academic excellence, with Southwest Middle School outperforming the district and state averages in several key areas, including ATLAS/English Language Arts, ATLAS/Mathematics, and ATLAS/Science proficiency rates.

Ahlf Junior High School also stands out, with higher ATLAS/Algebra proficiency rates compared to the district and state, as well as above-average ACT Aspire English and Reading scores. Both schools benefit from low student-teacher ratios, with Ahlf Junior High School having an even lower ratio of 13 students per teacher. This may contribute to the schools' academic success and ability to provide individualized attention to their students.

While there are some differences in spending per student and free and reduced lunch rates between the two schools, both Searcy School District middle schools are providing a quality education to their students. The steady improvement in Ahlf Junior High School's statewide ranking over the past three years further demonstrates the district's commitment to academic excellence and the effectiveness of its middle school programs.
