Pea Ridge Intermediate School and Pea Ridge Middle School are the top performers in the district, with Pea Ridge Intermediate ranking in the top 20% of Arkansas elementary schools and Pea Ridge Middle ranking in the top 15% of Arkansas middle schools. These schools have the highest proficiency rates in the district across core subject areas. In contrast, Pea Ridge High School lags behind, with lower proficiency rates than the state average in math, science, and biology.
The district's schools have moderate levels of economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 24% to 36%. Spending per student is in line with the state average, but the district's relatively high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 15.3 to 17.5, may impact the quality of instruction. Addressing these challenges, particularly at the high school level, and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students, will be crucial for the district to continue improving student outcomes.
