Every school in the Delta Preparatory Schools network has been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas for high student growth on the ATLAS, Arkansas's state assessment. Together, our four campuses in Helena and Blytheville earned nine awards in the 2026 Outstanding Educational Performance Awards.

What the Awards Measure

OEP awards are based on growth, not just test scores. A school's growth score reflects how much its students improved compared to students across Arkansas with similar prior achievement. OEP calls growth the best indicator of the impact a school is having on its students.

Schools are recognized for overall growth across math, ELA, and science, and for growth in each subject separately.

These awards belong to our students, who showed up and did the work, and to the teachers, staff, and families who supported them every day. Growth like this happens one lesson, one student, and one classroom at a time.
