Summary

Pea Ridge High School in Pea Ridge, AR, serves 597 students in grades 10-12 and is the sole high school for the Pea Ridge School District, which is ranked in the 57th percentile statewide.

Pea Ridge High School shows a pattern of inconsistent academic performance, with recent rankings swinging from the 43rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 75th percentile in 2024-2025, then dropping to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026. A major concern is a persistent weakness in Geometry, where only 11.7% of students were proficient in the most recent year—far below the state average of 26.4% and dramatically lower than nearby high-performing schools like Haas Hall Bentonville (91.8%) and Founders Classical Academies Of Arkansas High School Rogers (76.9%). This is a systemic issue, with Geometry proficiency rates of 6.6% and 19.1% in the two prior years. The school also has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (14.6:1) than many nearby schools, such as Rogers New Technology High School (6.2:1) and Bentonville West High School (9.4:1), which may mean less individualized attention for students.

Despite these challenges, Pea Ridge has a strong graduation rate of 94.7%, well above the state average of 90.1% and competitive with top schools like Bentonville West (96.1%). The school spends $13,869 per student, which is higher than nearby schools like Rogers Heritage High School ($11,542) and Bentonville High School ($11,870), yet its academic outcomes in ELA (38.5% proficient) lag behind these peers. With a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 27.97%, the student body comes from a more economically stable background than many neighboring districts, yet the school underperforms some higher-poverty schools in key subjects. Pea Ridge is a solid, community-focused option in a region with many high-performing schools, but it struggles with consistency and has a critical need to address its math instruction.

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
