El Dorado High School has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school where students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire during the 2018-2019 school year! Check out what the email from Sarah McKenzie, Ph.D., OEP Executive Director had to say about our growth:
"The OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards where we recognize schools with high student academic growth. We think growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your school is having on students. In our High School Level report which will be published tomorrow, EL DORADO HIGH received the following award: High Math Growth: High School Level (Southwest Region).Awards are based on the 2019 content growth score calculated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2018 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement. We recognize schools based on Overall growth, as well as for growth in Math and English Language Arts separately. To learn more about how we determined the OEP award winners and to see the full list of award recipients, you can view the report http://www.officeforeducationpolicy.org/downloads/2019/10/2019-oep-awards_high-act-aspire-growth-pdf.pdf."
