Each score is graded separately against Arkansas schools. A school can be strong at moving students forward (growth) without having the highest test scores, or the reverse. How we score schools

| Factor | Weight | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📚 Academics (reading & math) | 55% | 32/100 | reading 52nd percentile, math 12th percentile among Arkansas high schools (2018–19 state tests) |
| 🎓 Graduation (4-year, diploma only) | 25% | 52/100 | 87% graduate on time with a regular diploma |
| 🏫 Resources (class size, funding, size, type) | 20% | 79/100 | Inputs from NCES school and district data |
Students served: 25% students directly certified for free meals (their families receive SNAP or similar aid). Compared with Arkansas schools serving a similar share of low-income students, this school’s reading and math results are +6 points better than expected. (Context only; not part of the score.)
The overall Repit Score ranks this blend against every rated school in Arkansas. Schools are compared within their state because each state sets its own tests and proficiency bar. How we rate schools
