Pea Ridge Primary School

Our child thrived in kindergarten and first grade at Pea Ridge, had amazing teachers, but challenges emerged in second grade due to persistent bullying, which led to my child not wanting to go to school. Unfortunately, these issues continued into third grade. It’s clear the school has not adequately addressed the bullying problem. Additionally, the quality of education has been disappointing. Teachers have consistently failed to complete report cards, leaving us without clear insight into our child’s progress. There appears to be little accountability for ensuring students receive a meaningful education, with the focus seemingly on advancing them to the next grade rather than fostering their growth. Minimal communication between the school and parents. Given these experiences, we’ve decided to transfer schools next year. As a smaller community within Northwest Arkansas, we had high hopes for Pea Ridge’s schools, but sadly, they have not met our expectations.

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.
