Summary
42.2% of Arkansas students met proficiency on this spring’s ATLAS exams, up from 36.9% a year earlier in the state’s latest test results.
Math, science and English all improved from last year, pointing to broad-based gains rather than a rise confined to one subject.
More than 4 percentage points fewer students scored at the lowest performance level, a sign that the weakest results also improved.
State education officials said the scores reflect continued academic growth across Arkansas classrooms, extending gains highlighted after the 2023 LEARNS Act.
