EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Northwest Arkansas continues to lead the state in K-12 education. Students in Northwest Arkansas outperformed the state in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science on the 2015-16 state assessments.

Northwest Arkansas students scored nearly 8 percentage points higher than the state overall on the ACT Aspire. However, because these assessments are not nationally comparable we can’t know if students in Northwest Arkansas are performing better or worse than their peers in other states. In addition, these assessments are not directly comparable to assessments in prior years, so we have to wait for the 2016-17 results to determine if students’ performance is improving.

This report card presents a regional overview of districts in Benton and Washington counties as well as key performance indicators for each of the 15 traditional public school districts and 5 public charter schools.

A concerning finding in our report involves differences in student performance between districts, with students in some districts being more likely to meet readiness benchmarks than those in other locations. When examining district performance, it is important, however, to consider the characteristics of the students served. At Risk students (students who participate in the Free/Reduced Lunch Program, who receive special education services or who are identified as Limited English Proficient) face more challenges in achieving academic success than do students who are not at risk.

Arkansas has developed a new metric that should be less related to student demographic characteristics. The student growth model examines how students are growing academically. Measuring individual student growth over time provides a different perspective than measuring the percentage of students meeting readiness benchmarks at a specific point in time.

Highlights:Three public charter schools had the highest performance in the region, with Haas Hall Fayetteville, Haas Hall Bentonville, and Northwest Arkansas Classical students reporting the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. In addition to high achievement, students at these schools also demonstrated the highest levels of student growth in the region.

Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Gravette were the highest performing traditional school districts, for both student achievement and student growth. Among districts where more than half of the students are At Risk, Rogers, Gentry, and Siloam Springs reported the highest performance, while Springdale, West Fork, and Gentry students demonstrated the highest academic growth.

Graduation rates were highest at Arkansas Arts Academy, where 100% of students graduated, and at Farmington where 97% of the class of 2016 graduated on time.

While there is much to celebrate about Northwest Arkansas schools, many students in Northwest Arkansas are not meeting academic expectations. Each of Northwest Arkansas’ schools must continue to seek to improve and provide high-quality learning environments for all students.

Why is this important? Students who participate in Free/Reduced lunch programs, are identified as Special Education or Limited English Proficient are At Risk for not meeting proficiency targets or graduating. When comparing district performance, it is important to consider the percentage of At Risk students enrolled. Districts that enroll fewer At Risk students typically have higher proficiency percentages.

Advanced Placement Participation was calculated by dividing the number of students taking AP exams in 2015-16 by the number of students in 11th and 12th grades. Younger high school students may, however, take AP tests. The ACT was voluntary for the graduating class of 2016, and the Composite score represents their highest test score.

The 2015-16 Four-Year Cohort Graduation Rate. At Risk students (TAGG) are those who participate in Free/Reduced Lunch, are identified as Special Education and/or Limited English Proficient.
