State grades for Arkansas districts

Arkansas' more than 1,000 public schools received letter grades Wednesday, April 15, 2015, ranging from A's for excellence to F's for schoolwide low achievement, just like the grades the schools give to their students.
The new letter grades, which will not carry any penalties or rewards for the schools, took into account school results on state-required Benchmark and End-of-Course math and literacy tests; any year-to-year gains that were made by the school on the state tests; the size of achievement gaps among student groups at a school; and, if applicable, a school's graduation rate. The formula also took into account any differences in graduation rates among student subgroups at a school.
Each school could earn up to 300 points. A school earning 270 or more points was assigned an A. One with 240-269 points was given a B. A school with 210-239 points qualified for a C, and one with 180-209 points was given a D. Schools with fewer than 180 points received F's.
