Drew Central Earns Another Honor from UofA
June 13th, 2018 by
Drew Central Elementary has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school where students are “Beating the Odds”!
“Students at your school demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire even though your school serves a high-poverty population!”
The OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards, and this year we are recognizing schools with high student growth. UA thinks growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your school is having on students.
In their report, being released today Drew Central Elementary received the following award:
Beating the Odds! High ELA Growth: Elementary Level (Southeast Region)
Beating the Odds Awards are given to schools serving a population where at least 66% of the students participate in the Free/ Reduced Lunch Program, and are based on the 2017 content growth score calculated by the Arkansas Department of Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2016 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement. We are awarding awards based on Overall growth, as well as for growth in Math and English Language Arts separately.
