LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A senior at Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School in Little Rock recently made a perfect score on the National Spanish Exam— an accomplishment reached by only 201 out of over 82,000 students across the country 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.

“For me, it was truly a gift and a privilege to teach him,” Kratzke said. “His humbleness, kindness, and unwavering work ethic, plus his sincere passion for learning Spanish, make this achievement even more meaningful for both him and me.”

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