Schools may access the most recent published BMI data using the following website:
Arkansas Center for Health Improvement (ACHI) Public School BMI Reports
The latest BMI data from 2018-2019 results are: males 10th grade overweight 19.7%, obese 24.4%, and 55.9% at a healthy or underweight rate. The 10th grade females are: overweight 17.5%, obese 25.2%, and 57.3% at a healthy or underweight rateoverweight/obese. A trend is that anywhere from 42% of 10th graders at MHS fall into the overweight/obese category. 10th graders seem to be an at-risk grade level since over half fall into the overweight/obese category. Since 10th grade is the only grade that MHS required to measure for BMI data, 10th grade is the at-risk grade level for overweight/ obese at MHS. Sub-population data is neither required nor provided on the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement Public School BMI Reports.
