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.

In our school, our fighting policies are corrupt and our dress code is unequal. On the bright side, we have a lot of clubs, sports, and extracurricular activites.

Arkansas High School is a very diverse school. They have a large amount of AP classes to take starting from 9th grade. They have a large Band and Jazz Band. The Band has multiple Band Directors that focus in different aspects of band. The food is alright, but the food they sell is way better.
