Rural and geographically isolated, Norfork, Ark., has limited experience with a culture of academic achievement. But with 80 percent of the students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the community does have experience with poverty.

In 2007, all sixth graders also met the state’s new, higher math standards.
