Arkansas’s Student Success Plan requirement is one of the most important things a district can get right. But with everything that counselors have on their plates, it’s also one of the easiest to let slip through the cracks. Level All was built with Arkansas educators to make sure that doesn’t happen.

What the SSP Actually Requires

Since 2017, Arkansas has required every student to develop a Student Success Plan by the end of 8th grade. This is done in collaboration with parents and school officials, and is reviewed annually through 12th grade.

  • Career and academic planning. The plan identifies the courses a student will take each year until all required core courses are completed.
  • Accelerated learning and interventions. It must address accelerated learning opportunities as well as academic deficiencies and interventions.
  • Signatures, every year. Each annual review must be signed off, keeping students, families, and schools aligned on the plan.
  • Documentation that replaces Smart Core paperwork. The SSP is used in lieu of Smart Core documents for graduation requirement tracking.

Tracking an annually reviewed, annually signed plan for every student, from 8th grade through graduation, is a real accountability burden for a counselor. It’s often exactly where things fall through the cracks.

How Level All Makes It Manageable

Level All’s Career & Academic Plan (CAP) tool walks students through every piece of the SSP process, turning it into an interactive, portfolio-building experience instead of a paper trail.

  • Guided student experience. Students log in and move through structured career and academic planning content built specifically for Arkansas, working at their own pace.
  • A lasting portfolio. Every step a student completes feeds directly into their SSP, a record of goals, reflections, academic plans, and career exploration that stays with them through graduation.
  • Real-time counselor dashboard. Counselors see exactly where each student stands, who’s on track, who needs follow-up, and where the gaps are across the whole school.
  • Ready-made lesson plans. Teachers can bring SSP work into the classroom without building curriculum from scratch.

The dashboard is usually where Arkansas counselors have their “this changes everything” moment. Filter by grade, flag students who haven’t completed their annual SSP review, or pull a report before a meeting with administration, all at the touch of a button.
