We moved here from out of state with high hopes of a small town feeling and more hands on support in the classroom. What we got was a school full of ignorant teachers that openly harassed my youngest child for their gender expression and a school counselor that crossed professional boundaries with my eldest child. Moreover, the boys in this school are allowed to verbally and physically harass the girls without any reprisal at all. Boys were allowed to make slandering and extremely sexual statements and sounds toward girls in the classrooms and hallways throughout the year. Because of this, grades and attendance suffered. School started this year on 8/18/2021. The school board met purposefully on the evening of 8/17/2021 and voted against the Arkansas mask mandate in spite of the CDC and AHD recommendation's that masks remain in place. Children are dying in the hospitals in Arkansas right now and these backward, anti-maskers are having last minute meetings the night before school starts so that parents of the district will not have a back up plan. The teachers and administration of this school refuse to even tolerate anything other than sis gender or straight identity and told me as much in their office. This is illegal at best and detrimental to my child's self esteem. If I had known that the school was lost in the 1930's, then I would have never purchased a home in the area. I have already started the process of looking elsewhere, but it is really time for a change in this district.

I agree with the review of Greenland High saying this was best kept secret. Families will continue to move their kids to this school from some of the nearby bigger because the students get a chance to shine here. Principal is very hands on and former marine who is great example of a man. His admin assistant rules the roost and is married to police chief. Its a great community of wholesome folks with the school in the town square beside the police and fire departments. It's not impressive on the outside but inside the walls the kids are taught from some of the best professionals around who love kids encourage them to find their strengths and compete in regional events. Sports are big; as are extracurricular activities. My kids started in the band but ended up stopping to focus on piano and violin. if you're considering this place your kids will be destined for success.
