Pine Bluff, Watson Chapel superintendents meet state Education Board over F ratings

LITTLE ROCK — Keith McGee spent his birthday morning speaking before the Arkansas Board of Education, but it was under less-than-celebratory circumstances. McGee, who leads the Watson Chapel School District, was one of seven superintendents scheduled Thursday (Nov. 12) to discuss their plans for improving their F ratings in the Arkansas Department of Education’s latest Report Card. The Watson Chapel and Pine Bluff school districts both earned an F for the second year in a row under the formula, which takes into account academic performance, growth of all students, growth of the lowest-performing quartile of students, and how well-prepared students are after graduation. Up to 100 points are counted for each subcategory across these four categories, meaning a district can earn up to 900 points for its formula score.
