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 think the best part of my experience at Bentonville High School was the music program. I am in the choir and band program and the experiences I had in both of these were phenomenal. The band is nationally recognized and the choir went to Europe over the summer. I think what I would like to see improved is the student-teacher connection. I didn't always feel as though my teachers were trying to connect with each student. It felt like they had a favorite and would mainly talk to them. I think student-teacher relationships are important for every student and would like to see this improved here.

In my experience at Bentonville High School, the academics and programs are incredible. BHS excels in its fine arts programs, as well as many of its athletics. However, BHS very often prioritizes the funding of athletics over anything else. While our athletics are excellent, our fine arts programs are just as, if not more, excellent. If the fine arts received the funding and attention that the athletics received, BHS's fine arts would be otherworldly.

To the last review, complaining about the teachers only caring about test scores only further proves, along with this schools ratings, that they are doing their jobs and preparing our children for a real future. Thank you teachers and keep up the good work.New freshman parent

This school only cares about the test scores of students and does not communicate any information with students.

Overall very happy with this school. Due to the size of the school and diversity of population, scores can appear lower than comparable schools in Chicago, Dallas, etc. It is important to consider what is available for those who want to excel.
