There is no focus on education, no discipline, and no authority. Having came from another district, in comparison, the quality of education is poor, educators are not motivated themselves to teach and students are not willing to learn (and are not cooperative to the learning environment or actually disciplined to learn by educators). This is Arkadelphia Recreational not a high school as it should be... children are wasting there time in class rather than learning and those willing to learn are being deprived of excelling further. Athletes are being rewarded with continous playing time and "sports stardom," without having to make the grades to reward them of that privilege. It was a truly said fact to hear "here at this school all you need is a 'D' to pass, and even if you fail you're not in trouble for it." P.S. The "Arkadelphia Promise" is nothing more than a mirage, used to draw students to furthering their education with the district only to "thirst in the desert" when college finances bang at the door.

Will leave your child stranded over the weekend before notifying.

This is a great school!!! Very caring employees in this school!!! The principal is top notch and the school secretary is awesome!!

Great school, considering the area. I have been through the Arkadelphia Public School system, which is not very good; however, Perritt is (by far) the best of all. I have noticed that the teachers are nicer and the school is cleaner and maintained better than the others. The principal is very nice, and I have so many good memories of this school, unlike Central, Peake, Goza, or AHS. My advice is to allow your child to go to Perritt, maybe Central and Peake also, and then find a better place to educate your child, because Goza Middle School and Arkadelphia High School are not even close to Louisa E. Perritt's Koality (mascot).
