Data charts from THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN ARKANSAS 2023: Growing Together

Description

According to Forward Arkansas, a non-profit organization founded in 2015 to improve outcomes for all students in Arkansas, the “current state of education in Arkansas is a picture of considerable challenges.” As reported in 2023, despite slight improvements leading up to the pandemic, overall student academic outcomes were severely lagging before COVID-19 and worsened during pandemic disruptions. Furthermore, many Arkansas students are leaving K-12 unprepared for college and career opportunities.

On the other hand, Forward Arkansas notes promising initiatives to address critical and foundational issues that the state can build on to accelerate progress moving forward, including the community schools model.
