Arkansas Top-Performing School Districts in 2026

Top 5 districts in overall ELA proficiency (top) and math proficiency (bottom) in 2026 for students in grades 3-8 among non-charter public school districts.

STATE NOTE. Results reflect the ATLAS assessment administered to grades 3-8; data accessed 7/9/26. "Proficiency" here includes students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations on the ATLAS (levels 3-4).
DISTRICT INCLUSION. Districts included in this figure are public non-charter regular school districts, as defined by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Results are included only if all individual grade levels (between grades 3-8) did not have suppressed results (thus preventing accurate aggregation) or if the State Education Agency provided an aggregated district total for grades 3-8; in other words, smaller districts may not be represented here if grade-level results are suppressed.
DATE. This figure was published 7/13/26 by the Education Data Center (EDC).
