High Schools in Springdale School District

The Springdale School District in Arkansas is home to two high schools: Har-Ber High School and Springdale High School. Based on the available data, Har-Ber High School appears to be the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming Springdale High School on various academic measures.

Har-Ber High School has a statewide ranking of 101 out of 305 Arkansas high schools, compared to Springdale High School's ranking of 245.
