FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Schools across the Natural State were assigned letter grades on Friday, and around three-quarters received grades of C or higher.
The Arkansas Department of Education says the letter grades for the 2024-25 school year are the first to be released under its updated accountability formula.
The department said the new formula was designed to “provide a clearer and more meaningful picture of how Arkansas schools support student achievement, year-to-year growth, and ensures that graduates are prepared to be enlisted, enrolled, or employed.”
In the KNWA/FOX24 viewing area, the following schools received an “F” grade:
-
Fort Smith Virtual Academy
-
Future School of Fort Smith
-
Garfield Scholars’ Academy
-
Adventure Online Academy (Waldron School District)
