However, some additional variables are presented in this year’s Report Card such as economic indicators, and higher education data. However, today we will only highlight Bentonville Schools www.uark.edu/ua/oep

  11. 2012 NWA Report Card: Focus on Bentonville SD On the Arkansas Benchmark Exam, the Bentonville School District scored high among other Northwest AR districts with:91% of students P/A in Math90% of Students P/A in Literacy www.uark.edu/ua/oep

  19. The Similar Schools Group • Because it makes little sense to compare performance of Bentonville High to, say, KIPP Delta, the OEP developed a school grouping procedure to compare similar schools. • For example, we grouped schools according to the grades served: (1=primary, 2=elementary, 3=middle, 4=junior high) AND the fraction of economically disadvantaged students at the school (measured by the number of students receiving a free or reduced-price lunch – FRL) grouped into three categories: (1 = low economic disadvantage, 2 = middle economic disadvantage, and 3 = high economicdisadvantage). • Let’s say, we want to compare how Randall G. Lynch Middle School in Farmington performs on the benchmark to other schools that “look like” Randall G. Lynch Middle. How do we do that? We find other middle schools with similar percentages of FRL students. • Randall G. Lynch is a “middle school,” thus it is classified as a “3” • Randall G. Lynch has a low FRL%, thus it is classified as a “1” • Therefore, Randall G. Lynch is in the similar schools group 3.1 • We can now compare Lynch with all other schools that are in the 3.1 grouping www.uark.edu/ua/oep
