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 have experienced a lot through my years of school at Pea Ridge. I have gone to dances and sports events and I have participated in sports and academic clubs that try to keep their students involved. The school really tries to work with its students needs.

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.

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...
