Middle School "Beating the Odds"

Posted Date: 11/30/2022

Congratulations!  Mansfield Middle has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as a school that is Beating the Odds, because students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire!

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 Beating the Odds report published today, Mansfield Middle recieved the following awards:

High Overall Growth (Statewide)

High Math Growth (Statewide)

High Math Growth (Northwest region)

High ELA Growth (Northwest region)

Awards are based on the 2022 content growth score calculated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2021 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.
