improve their English language skills through English-as-a-Second Language classes.
Improved Academic Skills
We have one of the highest success rates in the country! Approximately 77% of all students who take the pre-test and post-test show improvement in their academic skills.
General Educational Development (GED®)
More than 7,000 students passed the General Educational Development (GED ) Tests in 2011. To them, this means a better job, higher wages, and the ability to better support the families. For Arkansas, this means a larger workforce and economic growth.
