Howard Perrin Elementary has a lot to celebrate! Our school has officially earned an A on the Arkansas School Performance Report—marking an exciting milestone in a remarkable journey of growth.
Over the past three school years, Howard Perrin has continued to move forward:
2023–2024: C
2024–2025: B
2025–2026: A
From a C to an A in just two years!
Arkansas’ school accountability system considers multiple measures of student success, including student achievement, academic growth, and the growth of students who need the most support. Our continued improvement reflects the hard work, commitment, and collaboration taking place throughout Howard Perrin every day.
The celebrations don’t stop with our A!
Howard Perrin was also named an Arkansas Gem School for Achievement of All, placing HP among the top 6–10% of schools in this area. We also earned additional recognition for our students’ achievement in Mathematics and Science.
These accomplishments qualified Howard Perrin for a financial award through the Arkansas School Recognition Program.
While we are proud of the letter grade and recognitions, we are even more proud of what they represent. Behind this growth are students who have worked hard and persevered, teachers who have continually responded to student needs, staff members who support learning in countless ways, and families who partner with us every day.
Going from a C, to a B, to an A tells a story of growth—and at Howard Perrin, we know growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a school community works together, believes in its students, and continues striving for excellence.
We are incredibly proud of how far our Panthers have come, and we are excited to keep growing!
The more we LEARN, the more we GROW!
Congratulations, HP Panthers!
