The Arkansas Department of Education has released the letter grade report and “Every Student Succeeds Act” index scores for Arkansas schools. 

• The rubric: Scores assigned to schools were based on weighted achievement, value-added growth, school quality, student success, and graduation rates.
• Pandemic effects: This is the first time the ADE has graded schools since the pandemic, and compared to 2019, fewer schools in the state received ‘A’ and ‘B’ grades. However, schools in NWA trended higher than the rest of the state.
