The Junction City School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Junction City High School, which serves students in grades 9-12.

Junction City High School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (67.92%) and a district ranking of 196 out of 252 districts in Arkansas, also with a 1-star rating. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($14,632 in the 2018-2019 school year), its academic performance remains below state standards, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
