Clarksville Junior High School

Summary:

Clarksville Junior High School is a public secondary school in Clarksville, Arkansas, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school is part of the Clarksville School District, which is ranked 149 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Clarksville Junior High School has some areas of concern. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average, with only 26.6% and 17.3% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, respectively. However, the school's 9th-grade Biology proficiency rate of 72.7% is much higher than the state average of 59.9%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 students per teacher is relatively low, and it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.67% to 70.87% over the past three school years.

While Clarksville Junior High School faces some academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it also shows some strengths, such as its performance in 9th-grade Biology. The school's efficient use of resources, as indicated by its low student-teacher ratio, suggests that targeted interventions and support could help improve student outcomes in the areas where the school is underperforming.

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.
