The Arkansas Research Center (ARC) was founded in 2009 by a grant from the National Center for Education Statistics to the Arkansas Department of Education through the University of Central Arkansas. A second grant was awarded in May 2010.
ARC's goal is to use student longitudinal data to provide essential K-12 information to everyone from parents to administrators. We strive to provide accurate data in a user friendly manner for everyone.
ARC is currently expanding, by building connections with the Arkansas Departments of Human Services, Workforce Services, and Higher Education, providing a hub of information under one roof to better benefit the state. Additional state agencies may be included in future research.
