This School year has been completely awful so far; I plan on transferring my child to another school.

Everyone at this school is like one family. Since the 2015-2016 year started this school is a totally different school from what it used to be. That goes both good and bad ways. The staff, parents, and students have always had a lot of pride in their town especially when it comes to sports. But this year was a totally different game. Since this year, the amount of pride this school has now is CRAZY. Pep-rallies were okay, but nothing like the games. The best student section was at basketball games. It would be so packed that some students wouldnt even be able to sit in the "section" for the students. They would have to start sitting in the section next to it. They were crazy loud, always had fun themes for each game that everyone would participate in, had lots of chants that they would yell all together like "nuts and bolts" (one of the favorites), and did fun things like the roller coaster. The student section was constantly laughing and having fun. They definitely had the whole gym all rowled up. From what I know, next year is going to be even better. There are going to be students who actually run the student section themes and pep-rallies. They will have meetings discussing themes and the school will purchase stuff for that theme for the students in the student section. They are gonna go all out next year with confetti and free t-shirts and everything. What a great experience. And the school store that will be opened next year is just another thing to add to the list of school pride the people of this town and school have. Definitely a one-of-a-kind place. They're right when they say this school is the best school in NWA. It would be hard to beat the nearby big schools like Bentonville, Springdale, Rogers Heritage, and Rogers High because of their big size, but without a doubt this school has them ALL beat.

My son who is in band is constantly getting bullied by the football players in this school. I talked to assistant principal Woods who said he would take of the problem and call me when it was done. It has been one month later, my son continues to have the same problem, and I was never contacted. We are seriously thinking about pulling him out of this school and sending him to another school district. I would not recommend this school at all.

My daughter was having difficulty with getting in trouble until we moved to Pea Ridge. Within the first two weeks of being in Pea Ridge the teacher gave her more advanced work and she doesn't get in trouble as often now. They have really worked with her on needing more advanced work and with her ADHD tendencies. The principal is very nice and helpful and such.
