AND IT JUST KEEPS COMING! What a week for #Arkansas education! Today’s positive EFA report adds to a growing list of reasons to celebrate the opportunities opening up for Arkansas children. ✅ Arkansas students improved in every tested grade and subject on this year’s ATLAS assessments, with fewer students performing at the lowest achievement level. ✅ School ratings released in September show 23 more districts earning an A or B and 12 fewer receiving a D or F. ✅ Pine Bluff’s The Learning Lounge won the $1 million Yass Prize this week, bringing national recognition and new investment to an Arkansas microschool. ✅ Little Rock School District is exploring a partnership with Sankofa Learning Academy, opening the door to bringing a microschool model into a public elementary school. Stronger public schools. More choices for families. New ideas and partnerships that put children first. This is the promise of Arkansas LEARNS, and these developments give us real reasons for encouragement. Thank you @GovSHuckabee and #Arleg for putting more trust into our teachers, families, school founders and leaders! Together we are working to help more #AR children succeed. Take a look at The Reform Alliance’s release below for the latest EFA findings. There is so much good happening in Arkansas education.
