Bentonville High School

Posted October 3, 2009

I rate the Bentonville High School currently as an excellant High School. The principal is a servant leader, she not only is the principal of 2933 students day in and day out, she also participates in teaching Sunday School, the Food Pantry at church, and Youth functions. With a leader of a High School with those serving the community type of values, the children at this school are not only receiving the best of the best education, they are also receiving direction on how to treat others and how to give back to the community. Both are qualities that make all students much better individuals in High School, but, more importantly, when they graduate into the real world. The Band Directors, Mrs. Rebecca Gale, and Mr. Gary Gale, are both of the same kind of individuals, they teach the children how to play in the Band, and also community volunteerism qualities.

2 of my 4 children have graduated from BHS and both have been well prepared for college. Encourage them to get involved, most clubs are free - the choir programs can 'teach' your child to sing! Some athletics are open to all - swim, tennis, some they have to earn a spot! Or they can cheer in the 'Jungle' but get involved. Having moved six times in three years ourselves prior to settling down in Bentonville, treat moves as an adventure/don't be a victim. Go to CAP conferences, help them get involved. Don't compare BHS to other schools, that does a 'disservice' to your child. Plus it is a great school - top 2% in the nation! Let them 'brag' about that to their friends back home! Encourage your kiddos to make the most of their high school experience. Many kids move around like ours did, they won't be alone.

There is no doubt this is an excellent school. There is a huge variety in terms of classes you are able to take, and extra-curricular activities. Not to mention countless other things, such as our high test scores, excellent athletic programs, and our Blue Ribbon status.

My child is in the IB Program offered by Bentonville. Students receives a top notch education that is only offered by 3 other high schools in the state of Arkansas. IB truly requires the student give 110%. Bentonville offers AP and IB classes to those students who chose a more challenging curriculumn. I am very proud of the top notch facilities that Bentonville has to offer students whether it be in the curriculumn, athletics, band, choir or forensics. I guess it all depends on how much effort each inidividual child puts into high school. Mine chose to be challenged.
