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 would say that it is an overall good heartfelt school. The teachers are very involved with the students lives and they help students get to where they want to be. Everyone treats everyone pretty equal and our school advertises that a lot. I would like for my kids to grow up here and get a similar experience as to what I did because it is a good community and I know they will be supported by the facility at the school.

It taught me many things about my future and prepared me for college. My school offers concurrent classes and helped me get ahead for my freshman year of college.

I like the community support at Heber Springs. We have so many students, staff and community cheering us at sports and music and art events. Our school has the most spirit in the county. Our school is very focused on the learning just as it is on sports and figuring out your path for life. Our school helps prepare you for the real world. One thing I would change about our school is the cell phone rule. Only because in the real world people have their cell phones and we don't learn anything if we can't work with them.
