Summary

Gentry High School is a mid-sized public high school in Gentry, AR, serving 565 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Gentry School District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks 86th out of 251 districts in the state.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 7:1, which is far better than nearby high-performing schools like Bentonville High School (11.6:1) and Gravette High School (9.3:1). This means your child is likely to receive more personalized attention and support. Academically, the school shines in Biology, with 47.1% of students proficient compared to the state average of 42.7%, and 9th graders achieve an impressive 91% proficiency rate. However, there is a significant weakness in mathematics, with only 24.1% of students proficient in Algebra and 21.8% in Geometry, both below state averages. This math gap is a key area for improvement, especially since the school spends $13,854 per student—higher than Bentonville schools—suggesting resources could be better targeted to boost math outcomes.

Gentry High School maintains a strong graduation rate of around 92-94%, well above the state average of 89%, but its state ranking has declined from the 79th percentile to the 63rd percentile in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, Gentry outperforms Siloam Springs High School Conversion Charter in English Language Arts (41% vs. 34.8%) but lags behind Bentonville West High School and Gravette High School in most subjects. The school also shows a "9th grade boost," where freshmen consistently outperform sophomores, suggesting a need to strengthen support for upperclassmen. Overall, Gentry is a solid, community-focused school with a clear strength in science and a critical need to address math instruction to fully leverage its low class sizes and high spending.
