Summary

Bentonville West High School is a large, high-performing public high school in Bentonville, AR, serving 2,661 students in grades 9-12 as part of the top-rated Bentonville School District.

This school consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks 17th in the state, with a very high graduation rate of 96.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%. A standout feature is its low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, which is notably smaller than nearby Rogers High School (13.6:1) and even its district counterpart, Bentonville High School (11.6:1), suggesting more individualized attention for students. While Bentonville West excels in many areas, it has a significant weakness in Algebra, with only 41.6% of students proficient compared to the district average of 67.6%. However, the school shows remarkable strength in Biology for 9th graders, where 75.3% are proficient, and in Geometry, where 77.8% of 9th graders achieve proficiency. The school also operates efficiently, spending $10,781 per student—less than Rogers Heritage High School ($11,542) and Gravette High School ($12,698)—while still delivering top-tier results.

Compared to the highly selective Haas Hall Bentonville, which ranks #1 in the state but serves a much smaller, less diverse student body, Bentonville West achieves its high scores across a broader population, making its performance particularly impressive. The school’s state ranking has remained stable between 9th and 19th over the past seven years, and its graduation rate has steadily climbed to 96.1%, reflecting strong student support systems. For families seeking an excellent public high school with small class sizes and consistent academic success, Bentonville West is a top choice in Northwest Arkansas.
