Www.APlusArkansas.com seeks to improve education in Arkansas. (A noble effort, indeed!) Ironically, there were at least two grammatical errors in their flyer. "Less" should be "Fewer."
There is a subject-verb agreement problem in the first bulleted line. The subject of the first sentence is "one." Its verb is "are." It is the prepositional phrase "in three" that causes the confusion. It should read, "Fewer than one in three Arkansas students is proficient...."
