El Dorado District and Curriculum

The El Dorado School District is comprised of eight schools—five elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school—and 4,643 students. The district is known for offering its El Dorado Promise scholarship, which can pay 65 to 100 percent (depending on how long the student has been in the El Dorado School District) of students’ tuition at an accredited university located anywhere in the United States. The El Dorado Promise was established in 2007, and since its inception, 1,444 students have received the scholarship, with 90 percent of the eligible students from the Class of 2013 attending college.

We currently cover the following El Dorado-area school district: El Dorado School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the El Dorado District Curriculum

The district’s website is very clear in communicating to parents the academic expectations for their children. Instead of posting the Common Core Standards as they are written, it provides an easy-to-read checklist of expectations for English Language Arts, math, science, and social studies at each grade level from K-8. This checklist is also much simpler for the students to follow and understand so that they can stay on top of their learning progress.

The standards are supported by programs, electives, extracurricular organizations, and athletic opportunities for students to participate in. It is central to the mission of the school that each student is successful in their academic learning, and this is supported by both remedial and advanced coursework for any student who requires it. The district also recognizes that students need creative outlets and relevant opportunities to pursue subjects of particular interest.

Keeping Informed: Recent El Dorado Educational News

  • The Perfect Promise - El Dorado, Arkansas may be a small city, but it provides a big scholarship to its students who meet specific academic criteria and have been attending the El Dorado School District since ninth grade. Murphy Oil Corporation started and funded the El Dorado Promise scholarship, which covers up to the full tuition and mandatory college fee amounts for any two- or four-year college or university in the country. The Eldorado Promise has not only benefited students who would not able to afford college without it but has also made a positive impact on younger students’ performances in and attitudes toward academics. Since the inception of the scholarship, El Dorado students have outperformed their peers attending other school districts in southern Arkansas on standardized assessments, have signed up for more A.P. classes than before, and are dropping out of school at a much lower rate. Is there a better promise to make to high school students?
  • Art Students Receive National Honor - Fourth grade art students at the Northwest Environment Studies Academy were selected to design the ornaments for the Arkansas Christmas tree for the 2013 National Christmas Display in Washington, DC. Since Arkansas is nicknamed the “Natural State,” students were inspired by nature and decided to create 24 of the state’s wildflowers. They constructed the ornaments from plastic bottles. The National Christmas Display first appeared in 1923, making it one of the longest-running holiday traditions in the United States.
  • Murmil Education Center Recognized - Murmil Education Center—part of the El Dorado School District—was one of the Arkansas alternative learning environment (ALE) programs to receive a special award. The program was recognized for improvements in its students’ academic achievement from 2010 to 2011, with at least 10 of its students improving their math and literacy assessment scores by 10 percent or greater. Congratulations, El Dorado!

Chalk Talk: Learning Vocabulary a New Way

Chances are that we all learned our vocabulary words the same way. Our teachers gave us a list of words and told us to turn to the glossary in our textbooks, copy down the definitions, and write a sentence using each of the terms. Sometimes, we may have gotten away with writing sentences that did not show knowledge of the meaning of the word. It is true that students can certainly memorize their vocabulary words this way and receive perfect scores on their tests, but are they truly learning the words? Graphic organizers are commonly used in comprehension instruction, but they are not implemented nearly as often for vocabulary. Teachers can customize graphic organizers for their students to really help them break down and understand the meaning(s) of each term. They can include sections for definition predictions, synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech, examples, non-examples, sentences using the word, etc. Perhaps the most critical portion is where students jot down associations that they make with the vocabulary words in the form of pictures, words, and/or phrases.
