London’s public schools outscore 73% of Arkansas districts

Reading proficiency in London’s districts is 48%, above the Arkansas average (40%). The grade covers the public school district serving London, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arkansas, not nationally.

From Arkansas state tests taken in spring 2022, when 100% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
