Dardanelle is overall a good school to go to with staff willing to help in every way they can from putting in a good word in recommendations to tutoring.

I had just recently moved to the US and was treated very nicely by the professors and faculty. I was able to participate in many activities that I never thought I would be able to and even took as many science classes as I wished to. It was the first time I had a say in what I wanted to do for my future academically while still being in high school. Not only this but my teachers showed me that there were options to help me with my future college classes.

Dardanelle High School has done a great job at preparing its students for ap exams, concurrent classes, and always striving for greatness. I only wish there were more classes available as a whole.

They don’t care about their students and they pick favorites to not discipline them. They also only care about who is doing non hurtful things over kids vaping in the bathroom.
