Announcement of Rewards - Arkansas School Recognition Program
The Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is pleased to announce that $6,950,900 will be awarded to 163 schools through the Arkansas School Recognition Program. Awards are based on student assessment results from the 2022-2023 school year and graduation rates from the 2021-2022 school year.
The Arkansas School Recognition Program (Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-2107) provides financial awards to the top 10 percent of public schools that achieve high student performance on the state-required assessments in grades 3 through 10 and the top 10 percent of public schools that achieve high student academic growth, including high school graduation rates where applicable.
NEAEC member schools, Corning HS, Tuckerman HS, and Maynard HS, were recognized as top 5% in the Growth/Grad category and Walnut Ridge HS as top 6% - 10% in the same category. Congratulations to each of these schools!
