Congratulations Star City Middle and Star City High! They have been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as schools that are Beating the Odds, because students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire even though the schools serve a high percentage of students who participate in Free and Reduced Lunch!
As you may know, 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.

Star City Middle recieved the following awards:
High Overall Growth (Statewide)
