Arkansas Homeschool Overview

Arkansas homeschool law (Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-501 et seq.) requires families to notify their local school district at the start of each school year and again in January. Standardized testing is required in grades 5, 7, and 10. The test does not have a pass/fail threshold — it's simply required to be taken.
