Magazine High School

Summary:

Magazine High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Magazine, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 209 students. The school is part of the Magazine School District, which is ranked 101 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Magazine High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7 to 7.5 over the past few years, its academic performance is a concern. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in ATLAS/Geometry and ATLAS/Biology. When compared to nearby schools like Charleston High School, County Line High School, and Booneville High School, Magazine High School performs worse on standardized tests, especially in mathematics and science. Additionally, the school's free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 71.29% to 80.8%, are significantly higher than the nearby schools, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Over the past several years, Magazine High School's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 68th out of 267 Arkansas high schools in 2014-2015 to 153rd out of 305 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on ATLAS/English Language Arts, ATLAS/Reading, and ATLAS/Mathematics has also declined, with proficiency rates dropping below the state averages in recent years. These trends suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the school's economically disadvantaged student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
