Arkansas Achievement on National Tests• The NAEP, often called “The Nation’s
Report Card,” is administered to a representative sample of Arkansas students in grades 4, 8 and 12 every other year. It includes math and reading subtests.
• As can be seen in the NAEP graphs, Arkansas’ performance is improving and approaching the national average in several areas, but continues to lag behind the nation as a whole in math and reading.
• 2013 12th grade data for math and reading will be released in the winter.
Math Proficiency %, Grade 4, 1992-2013
• In math, both grades are decreasing the gap between Arkansas and the nation, especially 4th graders. The 4th grade has shrunk from -8 in 1992 to -2 in 2013.
• However, Arkansas still performs less well than the nation in math in grades 4-8 on the NAEP.
Arkansas NAEP Time Trends: MathMath Proficiency %, Grade 8, 1992-2013
• Again, Arkansas performs less well than the nation in reading in grades 4-8 on the NAEP.
• However, the state has closed the gap.• The narrative that “Arkansas Ranks 49th in Education” has little merit!

Overall AR Achievement on STATE Exams:
How was Arkansas’ performance on the Benchmark and End-of-Course Exams in
2012-13? Over time?
State Scores on Benchmarks• Growth over
time, until slight decrease in 2012-13 in literacy and math
• Slight decrease can be attributed to many factors, including ceiling effects and CCSS “implementation dip”
• Grade-level trends: lower grades perform at higher levels than upper grades
