GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have such great teachers and I genuinely enjoy my classes. AHS has its faults, but so does any school. My experience overall has been really good.

They taught me a lot and pushed me to succeed. I would like to see them engage with the students more and focus on teaching and interesting instead of trying to make the school just about work.

Arkadelphia High School was an experience that I wouldn't want any other way. It had its ups and downs throughout the 4 years, but I would do anything to go back and see everyone again and make more memories than what I already have. Winning back-to-back Championships in football was and still is my favorite memory of high school. Some changes I would make to the school are all the activities outside of school like your prom, dances, etc.

I have to completely agree that this school has room for improvement. I do understand why though. This school can not afford many decent teachers. Very few decent teachers would want to give up a better paying job in a better environment than AHS for AHS, so the employment is not very good. Many stu...
