Senior: Southside High school is, in my opinion, a great school. The atmosphere is inviting, the teachers are enthusiastic about their job, and the administration seems like they care for their students. Some downsides, however, include the disregard for the arts and business classes at the school by getting rid of debate classes, art classes, and theater classes. I would also include the fact that not all cases of bullying are handled properly. Although, these flaws could easily be said about any school, not just Southside. Overall, the school is academically helpful, inclusive, and offer a wide variety of clubs/activities to partake in.... Read 549 reviews

Niche User: As someone who participates in athletics at UCA, I feel I have a different perspective than others who attend the school. I enjoy the tight-knit community that is fostered at the school, although it can be hard to become friends at first, once you become a member of Union Christian Academy, you're with them for life. The staff is very nice and cares about the well-being of their students along with how they are performing academically. I would recommend Union to people who are looking for a small, but close community with good education too.... Read 47 reviews

Alum: I loved my high school experience at Greenwood. The atmosphere of pep rallies and games was something I could never forget. I joined almost every club and cheered throughout my four years there. Being involved is what made me who I am. It brought out a whole other version of myself that I and everyone around me grew to love. I became more outgoing, gained leadership, and started to be more open. The only thing I would change about Greenwood, is the way our teachers wouldn’t allow some things to happen. We would do the smallest things that aren’t even worth getting in trouble for, yet we did. Other than that everything was fun and free. Most of the time I got out of classes because the teachers needed something or because I was done with my work. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my high school experience and hope to one day send my kids to school there too!... Read 323 reviews

Sophomore: Northside High school is a very diverse school. Its diversity is what fueled its ideas and compassion. There was never a boring day at Northside Highschool, and many teachers were there to help students in any way possible. The coaching staff at Northside is nothing like I've seen before. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet a coach that brought me to the next level. I will say I wish Northside was more open to change and had more resources at hand. Sometimes Northside would be short-handed, and the teachers seemed overworked. Students' ideas were often shut down because the staff was afraid of controversy and conflict, which downplayed students' creativity and passion.... Read 356 reviews

Senior: The future is one of the best schools in Fort smith. Future is more of a hands-on and real-world learning school. On Wednesday there are internships. The internship process consists of finding a place/occupation that interests you, then calling them and explaining why you called then asking for a shadow day. Then within the next week or two of shadowing them, you proceed to ask about interning with them. The future school also does exhibitions. Exhibitions are the students showing off what they have learned in class, WATC and outside of school. This happens twice a year once a semester at the end. The school is also more of a student based place as well. The students can pitch their ideas to the staff and usually, they accept it and put it into action. The staff also is very encouraging and supportive when a student has an idea or project. There have even been students who have been able to start up their own business at the Future because of the supporting staff.... Read 4 reviews

Senior: A majority of the teachers truly care for us and make sure we understand the subject and are well taken care of. The students are kind and inclusive. There isn’t really a hierarchy that defines the school, everyone is friends and gets along. There’s of course a few people that don’t get along, but overall the environment is welcoming and friendly. I’m about to be a senior and I’m so thankful I go to school where I’m friends with everyone. It’s been a great three years so far and I know my last year will be just as great if not better....

Senior: What I like most about this school is that the people are very inclusive and generous. The students invite you into groups of friends, and the teachers help you in any way they can. I consider at least four teachers to be close friends already ( I have just moved here from Arizona ) and people I can depend on. The teachers are there for their students in ways I haven't seen anywhere else. ( I have been to 5 different schools in the past 6 years. ) The students here are genuine and kind and if you know where to look, you can make lifelong friendships. That's not to say there aren't students who cause problems. However, I think those kinds of people are everywhere. Besides, they do not bother you if you don't bother them first. Overall, I would say this school is the best I have been to in my life. There is lots of diversity so no matter where you come from, or who you are, you are bound to fit in. Also, there are many academic choices in which you can choose from.... Read 25 reviews

Senior: What I liked the most about this school was my teacher that I got in 10 grade, if it wasn’t for her helping me and encouraging me, I wouldn’t be graduating on time. My math teacher has greatly expanded my understanding in algebra and helped me to become an above average student in his class.... Read 78 reviews
