Arlington Classics Academy
ACA was once a top tier school that instilled the tools needed to excel in academics. The Arkansas campus is still following the vision and values of ACA, but the Bowen campus has strayed to the point that a public school education would be a major leap upwards. There is no sense of pride in the direction of this school, especially within those parents/students that have been at ACA for a number of years, and had experienced a higher level of education. In my opinion, this school is in desperate need of new leadership.

About the TAKS
What is it?
The TAKS is an annual test used to measure a student's mastery of the state's grade-level academic standards.
Which Grades and Subjects?
Students are assessed in Grades 3 through 9 in reading, in Grades 4 and 7 in writing, and in Grades 10 and 11 in English language arts. Math skills are assessed in Grades 3 through 11, and students are assessed in Grades 5, 8, 10, and 11 in science, and in Grades 8, 10, and 11 in social studies.
How is it Scored?
Students receive one of two ratings: met standard or commended performance. The goal is for all students to meet the state standard. Students must pass the TAKS tests in grades 3, 5, and 8 in order to be promoted to the next grade, and in grade 11 in order to graduate from high school.
