Summary

Sheridan High School in Sheridan, AR, serves 1,239 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Sheridan School District, which ranks in the top 15% of districts statewide. The school has earned a 4-star rating and currently ranks 53rd out of 293 high schools in Arkansas, placing it solidly above average. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and per-student spending of $10,166, the school provides a supportive learning environment for its diverse student body, where about 38% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Sheridan stands out for its consistent academic performance across subjects, often outperforming nearby schools like Harmony Grove High School, Bauxite High School, and White Hall High School. In English Language Arts (44.3%), Reading (45.7%), and Biology (53.4%), Sheridan leads this group, with Biology proficiency matching that of top-performing Benton High School. However, Algebra remains a clear area for improvement, with a proficiency rate of 31.6% that falls below the state average of 36.9%. The school also boasts an impressive graduation rate of 94.5%, the highest among its local peers, while maintaining a manageable dropout rate of 1.6%.

Perhaps most compelling is Sheridan’s remarkable resurgence in state ranking. After declining to 120th in 2022-2023, the school has climbed back to 53rd in just three years—the most dramatic positive trajectory in the area. This turnaround signals strong leadership and effective instructional changes. While Benton High School remains the academic leader in the region, Sheridan has a clear roadmap for continued improvement: capitalize on its strong science program, address the Algebra gap, and focus on boosting English and Reading scores to challenge Benton’s dominance. With its upward momentum, Sheridan is well-positioned to reclaim its former 5-star status.
