Jayden Bledsoe smiling

The Little Rock School District is proud to recognize Jayden Bledsoe, a senior at Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School, for achieving a perfect score on the National Spanish Exam — a remarkable academic accomplishment reached by only 201 students out of more than 82,000 participants across the country this year.

Jayden’s Spanish teacher, Robin Kratzke, described this as a first in her career, calling it “an extraordinary feat” and praising Jayden’s exceptional dedication and 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."

This fall, Jayden will attend Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he plans to continue excelling both academically and personally.

The Little Rock School District congratulates Jayden for this outstanding achievement and wishes him continued success in all his future endeavors.
