Summary

Bergman High School is a small, high-performing public school in Harrison, AR, serving 297 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Bergman School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 93rd percentile among Arkansas districts. The school stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 3.8:1, which is far lower than the larger Harrison High School (7.1:1) and suggests a highly personalized learning environment where students receive significant individual attention. Bergman has consistently ranked in the top 25% of all Arkansas high schools over the past decade, currently sitting at 34th out of 293 schools (88th percentile), and maintains an impressively low dropout rate of just 0.3%.

Academically, Bergman shows notable strengths and a few areas for attention. The school excels in Algebra, with 57.4% of students proficient—20.5 percentage points above the state average and the highest rate among nearby schools, including Valley Springs High School (51.4%) and Harrison High School (36.1%). However, Geometry proficiency is a challenge, with only 26.5% of students proficient, which is barely above the state average and significantly lower than schools like Yellville-Summit High School (41%) and Harrison High School (51.2%). An interesting pattern emerges in 9th-grade test scores, where students outperform 10th graders in both English Language Arts and Reading, suggesting a particularly strong cohort or recent instructional improvements at that grade level.

Bergman serves a relatively more affluent student body compared to many neighboring schools, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 46.8%, which is much lower than schools like Yellville-Summit (99.04%) and Lead Hill High School (98.38%). While the school has seen a slight dip from its peak ranking of 12th in the 2022-2023 school year to its current 34th place, it remains a top-tier choice in the region. Parents should note that Bergman’s strong Algebra program and low dropout rate are standout features, but the school may need to focus on improving Geometry instruction to ensure balanced math achievement across all subjects.
