Best Math Growth Scores

Parkers Chapel Elementary and High School both have been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school where students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire!

The OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards where they recognize schools with high student academic growth. The OEP thinks growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that schools are having on students.

In the high school and elementary level reports, Parkers Chapel received the following award:

High Math Growth (Southwest region) - Elementary

High Math Growth (Southwest region) - High School

Awards are based on the 2022 content growth score calculated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2021 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement. The OEP recognizes schools based on Overall growth, as well as for growth in Math and English Language Arts separately.

CONGRATULATIONS TO PARKERS CHAPEL ELEMENTARY AND PARKERS CHAPEL HIGH SCHOOL on this award!
