Best Public Schools in Zip Code 72946


Summary:

The 72946 zip code area is home to three public schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students: Mountainburg Elementary School, Mountainburg High School, and Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy. While the middle school charter academy stands out for its strong performance in certain subject areas, the elementary and high school performance lags behind state averages in many metrics, particularly in mathematics.

The Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy is a public charter school that excels in English Language Arts and Science, with 79.6% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA and 59.1% proficient or better in Science, significantly higher than the state averages. In contrast, Mountainburg High School has 54.5% of 10th graders proficient or better in ELA, on par with the state, but only 34.1% proficient or better in Reading, slightly below the state average.

All three schools in the 72946 zip code area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates of 100% at Mountainburg Elementary and Mountainburg High School, and 98.91% at Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy. This high poverty level could be a contributing factor to the academic performance of the schools, and an area that warrants further investigation by the Mountainburg School District.
