Northwest Arkansas School Report Cards
Northwest Arkansas has a number of bragging rights when it comes to education.
Top test scores, great attendance and low dropout rates are some of the achievements of area schools.
Benton and Washington counties have 17 public school districts, including three charter schools. They range in size from the 185-student Haas Hall Academy Charter School in Fayetteville to the more than 18,000-student Springdale School District, according to the Arkansas Department of Education.
The Arkansas General Assembly approved a school-choice law in 2003 that requires all of the state’s school districts to accept students who don’t live in their boundaries. But the regulation doesn’t require districts to accept those students if it means adding buildings or teachers.
Several of the region’s school boards passed guidelines for complying with the law that states they won’t accept transfers when their enrollments reaches 85 percent of existing building capacity. That’s why few, if any, students living outside the boundaries of Bentonville, Fayetteville, Rogers and Springdale are approved each year to attend those districts, which struggle to keep up with growing enrollments.
School district boundaries don’t follow municipal lines, so school officials urge home buyers on cities’ edges to pull property tax records before buying a house to make sure they know which school districts their children will attend.
A quick way to compare Arkansas districts and individual schools is to download their Report Cards, which are lists of statistics released each year by the state. Those are available at:
