Congratulations! eStem Junior High and eStem High have been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as schools where students demonstrated high growth on the ATLAS!
The OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards where they recognize schools with high student academic growth. They believe think growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your schools are having on students.
In our Middle School Level report being published today,
eStem Junior High received the following awards:
High Overall Growth (Statewide)
High Math Growth (Statewide)
High Overall Growth (Central region)
High Math Growth (Central region)
High ELA Growth (Central region)
In our High School Level report being published today,

Although state accountability has moved to the percentage of students that met or exceed growth expectations, OEP Awards are based on the complete growth score. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved compared to how much other students with similar prior achievement improved. OEP recognizes schools based on Overall growth (including Math, ELA, and Science), as well as for growth in each subject area separately.
