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.

The curriculum at Des Arc High School is outstanding in every aspect! I scored a 27 on my ACT first try. Academically, I love Des Arc. The only downside is favoritism due to who you/your parents are. There was quite a bit of bias.
