The middle school years are a time of transition for many students. Students attending Flippin Middle School in grades 5th through 8th are able to make a smooth transition from elementary school to high school. With more opportunities available, a small student-to-teacher ratio, and an understanding and nurturing environment, students are able to excel and move towards their future goals.
Flippin Middle School has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school that is Beating the Odds, because students demonstrated high growth on the ATLAS exams even though the school serves a high percentage of students who participate in Free and Reduced Lunch. As you may know, the OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards where we recognize schools with high student academic growth. We think growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your school is having on students. In our Beating the Odds report published today, Flippin Middle School received the following awards: High Math Growth (Statewide) High Overall Growth (Northwest region) High Math Growth (Northwest region) Awards are based on the 2024 content growth score calculated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2023 compared to how much other students with similar prior achievement improved.
