Pea Ridge High School is a public high school serving grades 10-12 in the Pea Ridge School District, with 580 students. The school generally performs above the state average on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Reading. Pea Ridge High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, and has seen a decrease in free/reduced lunch recipients in recent years.

While Pea Ridge High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it appears to be a relatively strong performing school within the state.

The higher free/reduced lunch rates at nearby schools like Rogers High School and Rogers Heritage High School suggest that Pea Ridge High School may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance. Overall, Pea Ridge High School appears to be a relatively strong performing school, with some areas for improvement, particularly when compared to the nearby high-performing charter schools.

When Pea Ridge High School did have the Flex Module schedule, it taught me so much about time management, which turned out to be very helpful, as I am in my freshman year of college. On the other hand, the teachers were undereducated. I feel so insufficient compared to my fellow school mates now. I feel as if Pea Ridge could do a better job at finding profficient teachers. The bullying was horrible as well. So many students were bullied or harrased in any form, and the bullier would not have a sever enough punishment. I was not bullied myself, but I did see many other students have this situation, and I felt horrible that I, a TEACHER, or someone OF AUTHORITY could not or would not help them. This school has much to improve on, including the food. Yes, all school lunch is bad, but this school is just devistating. Being an athelete, or someone who workedout on a regular basis, I felt, along with others, that we were not given enough food. A piece of pizza is not lunch. A hotdog, by its self, is not lunch. Pea Ridge should really expand their food menue, to inclue more vegetables, more meat, and less grease, or oil filled foods that dont fill anyone up. I eat more at mcdonalds for the same price that I pay for school lunch. Pea Ridge high school should give its students more credit instead of talking about how horrible we are and how privledged we are, ITS A POOR COMMUNITY, WE DONT HAVE A LOT TO BEGIN WITH, JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE THAN YOU DID BACK IN THE DAY DOESNT MEAN WE DONT HAVE STRUGGLES, OUR PARENTS PROVIDE EVERYTHING FOR US, COMPLAIN TO THEM. The school in general was very gross, the floors werent swept or moped, a fellow student and I saw the same piece of gum on the floor for a week in a row. That looks so trashy and so gross, maybe if the school paid more attention to the actual building and the students inside of it, more than they did football or athletes over everyone, people might like Pea Ridge a little more. Its not that we have a slow population rate, its just that this school sucks and students feel like they didnt learn anything, or felt underappriciated or unoticed. I know I did. I get told "great job on that assignment" more in college than I did high school, and I just started college, and went to Pea Ridge for four years. Close Quote
