Pea Ridge High School is a small town school thats constantly growing. The Sports are kind of prioritized and the education is good if youre in Ap classes. Other than that its pretty mid. Most of the teachers are nice and actually care. While others are just here cause they have to teach in order to coach.

It's been pretty good. Not as many fights as everyone thought there would be with the sophomore class. The hallways are really crowded with about 130 seniors, 160 juniors, and over 200 sophomores in a building meant to hold 600 students.

I have went to this school for a very long time and just recently quit going because of how unorganized and ridiculous this school is. Honestly, I think no one at this school knows what they are doing. Worst school I've ever been to. Would never recommend sending your kids here.

We are new to the Pea Ridge Arkansas area. Today I went to the High School to find out information and register both of my kids for the school year. Not a single secretary or administrator could be found at the High School or anyone at the school district administration office which is connected to...
