In Arkansas, high school graduation rates are calculated using the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR), which represents the percentage of students who earn a diploma within four years of starting 9th grade. These rates are used in the Success Ready Graduate component of the School Letter Grade.

Graduation Rate Corrections

The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) verification window will be open from November 6–20, 2025. During this time, districts and schools will have the opportunity to review and verify graduation data for accuracy before final reporting. Ensuring the accuracy of this data is critical, as ACGRs are a component of the high school letter grade formula.
