Summary:
The Smackover-Norphlet School District in Arkansas has only one middle school, Norphlet Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Norphlet Middle School does not appear to be a standout performer among Arkansas middle schools, ranking between 181 and 229 out of 335 middle schools statewide and receiving a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Norphlet Middle School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in specific grade levels. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is also mixed, with students performing above the state average in English and Science but significantly below average in Mathematics. The school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,022 suggests that resources are being allocated to support student learning, but the inconsistent academic performance indicates that these resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to the specific needs of the student population.
Norphlet Middle School also faces some demographic and socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (41.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for low-income status. This suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Norphlet Middle School is not a standout performer in the state and faces some challenges that may be impacting its academic outcomes.
