Arkansas will be using the new Arkansas Teaching and Learning Assessment System (ATLAS) in the spring of 2025. This assessment is fully aligned with Arkansas state standards, and educators from across the state have played a role in its development.
The summative test serves as one measurement to evaluate a school district’s effectiveness. These assessments help districts and schools develop programs that best support student learning. Individual Student Reports will be distributed in the fall of 2025.
The Arkansas Educational Support and Accountability Systems (AESAS) Act 930, Section 2 of 2017 requires the state of Arkansas to administer standardized testing to public school students.

Provide a nutritious breakfast each morning.
Make sure your child arrives on time and attends school on all testing days. Even if they are absent, they will still be required to take the test later.
Avoid scheduling appointments on testing days.
Keep your child in school for the full day so they don’t feel rushed.
Encourage them to do their best and celebrate their hard work!
