LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A student in their final year at Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School in Little Rock achieved a flawless score on the National Spanish Exam. This remarkable feat was accomplished by only 201 students out of more than 82,000 nationwide this year.

The Little Rock School District is proud to recognize Jayden Bledsoe for his remarkable academic accomplishment.

Jayden’s Spanish teacher, Robin Kratzke, said this was a first in her career and described him as a dedicated student with a passion for learning.

“Teaching him was truly an honor and a privilege,” said Kratzke. “His humility, kindness, and relentless dedication to his studies, along with his genuine enthusiasm for learning Spanish, make this success even more significant for both him and myself.”

Jayden will attend the Missouri University of Science and Technology in the fall.
