Memo Text

The 2021 Arkansas School Performance Report (School Report Card) is now available.  It can be accessed in the Report Card tab on MySchoolInfo at the school, district, and state level.  This annual report provides important information about each school and school district including test performance, graduation rate, school quality, and student success.


Please use the following link to access Report Card video: How to View Report Card.

 

The Arkansas School Report Card provides comprehensive data for each school, district, and the State of Arkansas. Information in the report card pulls from the certified cycle and graduation data submitted to DESE. Colored indicators reflect the current data status for each module. All modules are now complete. 

 

Due to the impact of COVID-19, Act 89 of 2021 suspended school ratings (letter grades) for the 2020-2021 school year. 


As you review the data, please keep in mind that to protect student privacy, you will notice some entries labeled as restricted values (RV) or N<10.  The values for these entries have been suppressed to protect the identification of a student or students in a small group in a school report. CV is shown instead of a value because ACT Aspire and Dynamic Learning Maps assessments were not given in the school year 2019-2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

 

Communications Toolkit:

DESE prepared a communications toolkit providing resources to help school officials inform stakeholders of report card results. This toolkit supplies districts with information and materials available to copy or modify and share. The toolkit includes: 


 

Additional information about the Arkansas School Report Card can be accessed at the following link: Division of Elementary and Secondary Education - Offices - Public School Accountability - School Performance - Report Card.

The school reports provide a communication framework to encourage dialogue and inform decisions within each school community. School-level improvement plans and district support plans may be updated as schools and districts review the data. All stakeholders are encouraged to participate in these discussions. After exploring the School Report Card, please complete the survey to provide DESE with feedback and suggestions for improvement: School Report Card Survey (English or Spanish)

District Website Posting Requirement:

As per Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-1402 (a)(2)(B) Each school district shall post the school performance report for each of its schools on the district's website not later than ten (10) days after it is posted on the division's website.
