Measuring Up 2006: The State Report Card on Higher Education. Arkansas
Author: National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education
Date: 2006-00-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Higher Education,Comparative Analysis,Performance Factors,Educational Improvement,Educational Change,College Preparation,Enrollment,Access to Education,Paying for College,Student Costs,Academic Persistence,Graduation Rate,Educational Attainment,Outcomes of Education,Education Work Relationship,Economic Impact,Academic Achievement,Achievement Rating,Educational Indicators,Educational Assessment,Postsecondary Education,Time to Degree,Comparative Education,Foreign Countries

The purpose of this state report card is to provide the general public and policymakers with information they can use to assess and improve postsecondary education in each state. &quot;Measuring Up 2006&quot; is the fourth in a series of biennial report cards. The report card grades states in six overall performance categories: (1) Preparation: How adequately does the state prepare students for education and training beyond high school?; (2) Participation: Do state residents have sufficient opportunities to enroll in education and training beyond high school?; (3) Affordability: How affordable is higher education for students and their families?; (4) Completion: Do students make progress toward and complete their certificates or degrees in a timely manner?; (5) Benefits: What benefits does the state receive from having a highly educated population?; and (6) Learning: What is known about student learning as a result of education and training beyond high school? Findings for Arkansas include: (1) Despite substantial improvement, high school students in Arkansas are poorly prepared for college when compared with students in other states. This year Arkansas receives a D+ in preparation; (2) Despite substantial improvement, Arkansas lags much of the nation in enrolling students in higher education. This year Arkansas receives a C in participation; (3) Arkansas has made no notable progress in making higher education affordable. This year Arkansas receives an F in affordability; (4) Although Arkansas has made substantial gains in the proportion of students earning a certificate or degree in a timely manner, the state's performance remains low when compared with other states. This year Arkansas receives a C in completion; (5) Despite substantial gains, Arkansas continues to struggle to realize the benefits that come from having a more highly educated population. This year Arkansas receives a C in benefits; and (6) Like most states, Arkansas receives an &quot;Incomplete&quot; in Learning because insufficient data would not allow meaningful state-by-state comparisons. However, data are available this year to examine the readiness of college graduates--from two- and four-year institutions--for advanced practice. This report also includes international comparisons, additional information, questions and answers, and state grades. (Contains 2 figures.) [For &quot;Measuring Up, 2006.
