About Midland Elementary School

Midland Elementary School serves 215 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Floral, Arkansas. A regular public school, it operates at a 10.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, giving classroom teachers the time and capacity to track each student's progress and respond quickly when someone falls behind or surges ahead. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 and the Exceptional designation on MySchoolScout's scale.

Its growth score of 9.8 is the defining figure: students here gain academic ground at a rate that consistently outpaces statewide expectations.
