Mansfield Middle School has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school that is “Beating the Odds”, because students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire even though the school serves a population of students who participate in Free and Reduced Lunch!
As you may know, the OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards, and this year we are recognizing schools with high student growth. We think growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your school is having on students.
In the Beating the Odds report to be released tomorrow, Mansfield Middle received the following awards:
Statewide “Beating the Odds” Overall Growth: Middle Level
Statewide “Beating the Odds” Math Growth: Middle Level
“Beating the Odds” Math Growth: Middle Level (Northwest Region)
Awards are based on the 2018 content growth score calculated by the Arkansas Department of Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2017 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement. We recognize schools based on Overall growth, as well as for growth in Math and English Language Arts separately. To learn more about how we determined the OEP award winners and to see the full list of award recipients, you can view the report here.
