Springdale School District has been built on four basic

pillars for over three decades. They are academic

achievement, personalized instruction, safety and

partnerships. Each of the four areas experienced

continued excellence during the 2012-1013 academic

year. Following are examples from each pillar:

1

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

These academic and athletic achievements were accomplished by teams working together.

They reflect honors earned by the district, our schools and our athletic teams.

Helen Tyson Middle School – Exemplary

Helen Tyson Middle School was one of only nine schools in Arkansas, including

the public school in Northwest Arkansas, to achieve Exemplary status during the

2012-2013 academic year.

Tyson’s TAGG students, which include English Language Learners, special

education students and economically disadvantaged students, were well above

their Annual Measurable Objectives. The gap was closed considerably between

the TAGG students and all other students in the school. Tyson is an achieving

school in math and literacy.

Exemplary schools are those who rank in the 99 percentile of all schools in

Arkansas.

ARKANSAS ESEA FLEXIBILITY WAIVER

The United States Department of Education and the Arkansas Department of Education agreed to changes

in school and school district accountability through a flexibility waiver that became effective with the 2012-

2013 school year.

Under the former accountability system, No Child Left Behind, schools and districts were required to meet

annual required performance levels for all students (combined population) and for all subpopulations of

students.

The new flexibility waiver now requires schools and districts to narrow the achievement gap between all

students and Targeted Achievement Gap Group students (students with disabilities, English Language

Learners and economically disadvantaged students).

The changes in Arkansas’ accountability model have in some cases resulted in schools that were meeting

all annual performance levels under the former system to now be labeled as Needs Improvement schools.

For more detailed information go to:

www.arkansased.org/public/userfiles/Flexibility/ESEA_Flexibility_information.pdf

ARKANSAS ESEA ACCOUNTABILITY

Elementary Schools: Eight of our elementary schools met the standards for both math and literacy and

were ranked as Achieving Schools. Two of our schools met year one exit criteria as Needs Improvement

schools. Seven elementary schools were ranked as Needs Improvement.

Middle Schools: One of our middle schools met year one exit criteria as a Needs Improvement school and

two other middle schools were ranked as Needs Improvement schools.

Junior High Schools: One of our junior high schools was ranked as an Achieving school and the other two

met year one exit criteria as Needs Improvement schools.

High Schools: Both of our traditional high schools were ranked as Needs Improvement schools. Our ALE

program also received Needs Improvement ranking.
