Summary:
The Bergman School District is home to a single high school, Bergman High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in Harrison, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 297 students.
Bergman High School is a standout performer, with the district ranking 17th out of 251 districts in Arkansas (93rd percentile, 5-star rating). The school itself has shown strong, though slightly fluctuating, performance, ranking 34th out of 293 high schools (88th percentile, 4 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, down from a peak of 16th out of 305 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023-2024. Academically, the school consistently outperforms state averages, particularly in Algebra where 57.4% of students are proficient compared to the state's 36.9%. However, a notable weakness is Geometry, where only 26.5% of students are proficient, essentially tied with the state average of 26.4%. The school also boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 3.8:1, which is a critical resource likely driving its success, and a very low dropout rate of just 0.3%.
Despite nearly half (46.8%) of its students being eligible for free or reduced lunch, Bergman High School achieves high academic performance, suggesting its resources effectively mitigate challenges associated with economic diversity. The school is also showing positive year-over-year growth in core subjects like ELA (from 40% to 44.2% proficient), Reading (from 38.1% to 46.4% proficient), and Algebra (from 43.1% to 57.4% proficient). While the recent dip in state ranking from 5-star to 4-star status warrants monitoring, the school's overall trajectory, low class sizes, and strong test scores make it a top-tier choice for families in the area.
