Children are not allowed to wear coats in the classroom and there is little heat to warm the room. Some teachers are excellent workers, although several could care less if the student learns. I would strongly suggest that you not send your children here, if you must not. It is not a good school to attend. Read less

Blytheville high school is one of the worst schools ever in the history of the universe.

I really feel that Blytheville High School is a poorly developed school. Some of the teachers at the school really believe that education is an important issue.

Years ago that was the highlight of high school. Something really needs to happen if our children is going to make it in todays world. I can only say that parents be very cautious and pay attention to what is being done. Read less
