Summary

Pea Ridge Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-9 in Pea Ridge, Arkansas, with 627 students. The school is part of the Pea Ridge School District, which is ranked 65 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Pea Ridge Junior High School has some strengths, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in Algebra and Geometry, its overall academic performance has been a concern. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Pea Ridge School District and the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 58th out of 330 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 175th out of 335 middle schools in 2023-2024, suggesting inconsistent academic achievement.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Elmwood Middle School and Lincoln Junior High School, Pea Ridge Junior High School generally performs worse on standardized tests. However, the school's proximity to these higher-performing schools in the Rogers and Bentonville school districts may contribute to the perception of its relatively weaker performance.
