Summary:

Izard County Cons Middle School is a public middle school located in Brockwell, Arkansas, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Izard County Consolidated School District, which is ranked 148 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Izard County Cons Middle School has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels on the ATLAS and ACT Aspire assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.8%), Reading (28.9%), and Mathematics (27.4%) were all significantly lower than the state averages (33.8%, 34.1%, and 36.4%, respectively). The school's performance has also declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 91st out of 318 Arkansas middle schools in 2017-2018 to 170th out of 335 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.65% in 2022-2023 to 83.04% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $7,961 in 2018-2019 was slightly lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased from 14 in 2020-2021 to 11.9 in 2022-2023, suggesting an improvement in the availability of instructional resources. The school's academic performance has also been inconsistent, with some grade levels performing better than others in certain subjects. Analyzing the factors contributing to this inconsistency could help the school identify targeted strategies for improvement and address the unique needs of its student population, particularly those from low-income families.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
