Summary

Glen Rose High School is a small, rural public school in Malvern, Arkansas, serving 468 students in grades 7-12 as part of the Glen Rose School District. The school has shown a remarkable academic rebound, jumping from a 2-star rating (48th percentile) in 2024-2025 to a 4-star rating (81st percentile) in 2025-2026—the largest positive swing among nearby schools. This turnaround is especially evident in math, where 50.7% of all students are proficient in Algebra, far exceeding the state average of 36.9%, and 87.5% of 8th graders achieve proficiency, outperforming all neighboring schools. The school also benefits from an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.1:1 and higher per-student spending ($13,642), which supports personalized instruction.

However, Glen Rose’s strengths are uneven. While it excels in advanced math, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 36.9% and Reading proficiency of 39.4% both fall below state averages. This contrasts with nearby Magnet Cove High School, which achieves strong results in both ELA (49.3%) and Mathematics (61.2%). Additionally, Glen Rose’s graduation rate of 86.9% is the lowest among comparable schools, including Benton High School (94.2%) and Bauxite High School (94.4%), with a dropout rate of 2.3% that is the highest in the group. This suggests that while test scores are rising, the school may face challenges in keeping all students on track to graduate.

Compared to its local rival, Malvern High School (8 miles away), Glen Rose significantly outperforms in nearly every academic metric, including Algebra (50.7% vs. 26.2%) and Biology (48.6% vs. 34%). The school’s success is not solely due to its small size—other small schools like Cutter-Morning Star High School (331 students) rank much lower (32nd percentile). Instead, Glen Rose’s effective use of resources, particularly in math instruction, drives its standout performance. For parents, this school offers a strong math program and individualized attention, but literacy support and graduation rates are areas to watch closely.
