Summary

Bentonville High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Bentonville, Arkansas, part of the Bentonville School District. The school has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for many years.

Bentonville High School's academic performance stands out, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in assessments like ATLAS/English Language Arts, ATLAS/Reading, ATLAS/Algebra, ATLAS/Geometry, and ATLAS/Biology. The school's students also perform well on the ACT exam, with higher percentages meeting proficiency in Mathematics, English, Reading, and Science compared to the district and state. However, the school's performance varies across subject areas, with stronger results in English Language Arts and Reading than in Mathematics and Science.

While Bentonville High School's academic excellence is evident, it faces competition from nearby charter schools, such as Haas Hall Bentonville and Founders Classical Academies of Arkansas High School Rogers, which have even higher academic performance and lower poverty rates. Additionally, Bentonville High School's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may raise questions about the school's ability to serve a diverse student population and address potential equity concerns.

Open Quote My child was bullied by Christian students for not being Christian and for having Asperger's (autism). The staff did nothing to help my child except blame him for not being tough enough to fight back. In this school, if you're not an athletic Christian with money, you don't matter. Close Quote
