More than half of the students in several counties, including White, ended up in the “gray box” in the fall of 2020, Arkansas State University-Beebe Chancellor Dr. Jennifer Methvin told the Searcy School Board recently.

The gray box, Methvin explained, means that those students didn’t attend any college. She said there were 7,122 2020 high school graduates in Cleburne, Faulkner, Lonoke, Prairie, Pulaski, White and Woodruff counties, and 3,955 of those students were in the gray box. Thirty-eight percent (2,688) of the other students attended colleges other than ASU-Beebe, while 7 percent (479) attended ASU-Beebe.
