The school's test scores are generally higher than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology all above the state averages. Gentry High School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.1 to 8.0 over the past few years, which is lower than the state average and many of the nearby schools, such as Responsive Educational Solutions Premier High School Of Springdale and Decatur High School.

While Gentry High School is performing well overall, there may be opportunities to further improve its academic outcomes, particularly in subjects like Algebra and Geometry, where its proficiency rates are lower compared to other subjects. When compared to the higher-ranked schools in the area, such as Bentonville High School, Bentonville West High School, and Founders Classical Academies Of Arkansas High School Rogers, Gentry High School may still have room for improvement. However, the school's consistent academic achievements, coupled with its relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggest it is well-positioned to continue supporting the educational needs of the Gentry community.
