City Heights Elementary School

• Van Buren School District, AR
• K-5
• 5 reviews

Parent: I have had 2 children go through City Heights Elementary from kindergarten through fifth grade. We have loved every single teacher! The staff and faculty do many things to make the kids feel loved and valued. Teachers greet kids getting out of the car each day with a smile and a personalized hello. I always felt welcome to visit for parties, assemblies, class projects, field trips, etc. This is a quality school that gave my girls a great education, both academically and socially as well as emotionally. I would not change anything. I feel very blessed for them to have gone through City Heights!

Many after school activities are offered such as Chess Club, Justice League of America, American Sign Language, and others. Students are also involved in multiple fund/food/book raisers to help others who need help.

Junior: Alma High School is a great school. They have a great variety of clubs/organizations and extracurricular activities/ sports for you to be a part of. The coaches will push you hard. Be prepared to sweat and cry, but it's all worth it though.
There is also a wide variety of classes from regular to AP classes for those who want to be academically challenged.
The people are friendly (for the most part). You will make new friends fast. Everyone is welcoming and make you feel right at home.
The counselors and principals really care about all of their students and want to see them succeed in life. They have a no tolerance policy. They don't want any bullying, no drugs, no alcohol, nothing bad. They help the students make smart choices and they want to help keep us safe.
And this is why my parents chose to send me Alma School District. They have great schools! I love it here!!

Senior: The best part about Van Buren high school is by far our teachers! We have what are certain to be some o the best teachers in the nation. However, the rules for phones here make learning even harder. Being able to use our phones for academic purposes makes everything much easier.

Parkview Elementary School

• Van Buren School District, AR
• K-5
• 5 reviews

Parent: I am confident that my kids are being taught by dedicated, determined, and well-qualified teachers. My children have gotten even stronger in subjects that they excelled at, and I have seen huge improvements in the subject that they needed to work on. The teachers are extremely communicative, and the school, as a whole, is very welcoming to parents. I truly feel like they love my children, and it's not just the teachers who give me that feeling---but everyone who works at Parkview. In addition, I really appreciate how hands on the principal and vice-principal are. Although I know they have a copious amount of paperwork to do, they are everywhere, working the car line, answering the phone, walking the hallways---they are servant leaders. In short, my children have thrived at Parkview because of the exceptional teachers, administrators, aides, secretary, and every member of the staff.

Mountainburg High School

• Mountainburg School District, AR
• 9-12
• 72 reviews

Junior: Mountainburg School District is the backbone of my education and character. The student body and community is unified; it's as if everyone is family, always there for one another. My teachers are very supportive of the students and want to see them excel in all areas of the academic careers. However, not only do my teachers care about my academics, but they care about my wellness as a human also. Mountainburg's teachers have a passion to teach each student not only how to find tangents and how to solve electron configurations, but they also teach us valuable life lessons like how important every choice we make is, how important showing people respect is, how to make a positive impact on our futures, and how to enter the world as mature young adults. Without the influence of my teachers and the school's staff, I could not have become the person I am today. I never imagine going anywhere else because my heart belongs in Mountainburg, and I wouldn't change a thing about my school.

Freshman: The staff is very friendly and cares a lot about the students there. While it may vary from teacher to teacher, I do know they will answer a lot of questions. You can often run into their rooms during lunch, before or after school, or text them to remind with questions you have. If you still don't understand you can always go in for tutoring in the morning where there is always a teacher there to teach you.
