Summary

Rose Bud High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Rose Bud School District in Arkansas, with 340 students. The school has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating over the past 10 years and ranking 31st out of 250 districts in the state in 2024-2025.

Rose Bud High School's strengths lie in its strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's proficiency rates in 8th grade Mathematics (64.3% vs. 31.7% state average) and Algebra (55% vs. 30.9% state average) are significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, the school's students perform well on the ACT exam, with 39.6% meeting the English benchmark, 25% meeting the Reading benchmark, and 14.6% meeting the Science benchmark in 2021-2022 - all higher than the district and state averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.8 in 2023-2024 suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

When compared to nearby schools, Searcy High School, Vilonia High School, and Heber Springs High School also demonstrate strong academic performance, serving as benchmarks for Rose Bud High School to aspire to. However, Rose Bud High School's consistent improvement and focus on STEM education make it a standout school in the region.
