Hamburg’s public schools outscore 61% of Arkansas districts

The grade covers the public school district serving Hamburg, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Reading proficiency in Hamburg’s districts is 34%, below the Arkansas average (40%). Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arkansas, not nationally.
