Summary

The school consistently performs above the state average on standardized tests, with a strong academic program that has earned it a reputation as one of the top middle schools in the state.

Pea Ridge Middle School's academic excellence is evident across multiple subjects and grade levels. In 2022-2023, the school had 71.2% of 5th graders and 73.8% of 6th graders proficient or better in English, compared to the state averages of 70.2% and 67.6%, respectively.

While Pea Ridge Middle School's academic performance compares favorably to many nearby schools, such as Lincoln Junior High and Washington Junior High in the Bentonville School District, the school's demographics have seen some changes in recent years, with a slight decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic and Native American students. This shift may present both challenges and opportunities for the school as it works to adapt its instructional approaches and support services to meet the needs of a more diverse student population.
