Abstract

Each year, the Office for Education Policy creates a state report card that highlights recent student achievement, achievement gaps, student demographics, and financial information for schools across the entire state of Arkansas. Because we are housed in the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, which is in the Northwest Arkansas region, we have created an edition of the report card specific to the this region. Here, we present the most recent report card data for schools in Washington and Benton counties in Northwest Arkansas.

The following districts are included for the Northwest Arkansas (NWA) average: Bentonville, Decatur, Elkins, Farmington, Fayetteville, Gentry, Gravette, Greenland, Lincoln, Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Rogers, Siloam Springs, Springdale, and West Fork (districts in Washington and Benton counties). Bentonville, Fayetteville, Rogers, Siloam Springs, and Springdale are classified as the “Big 5”. The remaining smaller districts are classified as the “Rural 10”. The 5 largest districts in Northwest Arkansas are individually highlighted in various tables throughout the report since more than 80% of the students in Northwest Arkansas are enrolled in these districts.
