Several school districts in the Twin Lakes Area have been awarded funds they've qualified for under the Arkansas School Recognition Program through the Arkansas Department of Education. The program provides financial awards to the top ten percent of public schools that achieve high student academic growth, including high graduation rates for secondary schools.
Schools in the top five percent of performance get $100 per student and the top six to ten percent receive $50 per student. Awards of $100 per student are also given to the top five percent for growth and $50 for the top six to ten percent.
The Cotter School District received a total of $39,600 for the top six to ten percent in both performance and growth at Amanda Gist Elementary School. Norfork High School received $10,250 for placing in the top six to ten percent in growth and high graduation. Yellville-Summit High School received $17,250 in the same category.
