The Arkansas Department of Education recently released the 2022 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Index Scores and Letter Grade reports. ESSA School Index Scores were compared between 2022 and 2019 to identify schools which made the most continuous improvement over the span of time (5 or more points of increase on the ESSA School Index Score and increased by one letter grade). Six schools, four elementary and two high schools, earned the distinction as a Schools on the Move Towards Excellence Featured School. These schools are highlighted below:
Parkview Elementary School in Van Buren School District (+8.44)
Grace Hill Elementary School in Rogers School District (+6.49)
Midland Elementary School in Midland School District (+6.21)
Eureka Springs High School in Eureka Springs School District (+6.07)
Sylvan Hills Elementary School in Pulaski County Special School District (+5.79)

ESSA gives districts the opportunity to redefine accountability for their schools and utilize evidence-based strategies best designed to meet their specific needs. Under ESSA, Arkansas created a plan with input from all stakeholders, including educators and community members. Arkansas’ ESSA School Index contains five indicators for success:
Weighted Achievement;
Growth;
Progress to English Language Proficiency;
Graduation rate, and;
School quality and student success
