Bentonville High School (BHS) is a comprehensive public high school in Bentonville, Arkansas. Founded in 1910, the school provides secondary education for more than 3,600 students in grades nine through twelve. Bentonville High School is one of nine public high schools in Benton County and is one of two high schools of the Bentonville School District.
The school recently switched from a traditional high school curriculum to an academy, or small learning community, curriculum. There are five SLC's (small learning communities) into which students are placed. All ninth grade students begin in the "Freshman Learning Community" before transitioning into one of the interest-based SLC's. BHS also offers a wide variety of courses, including 19 Advanced Placement (AP) classes and the International Baccalaureate Program. In 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2012 Bentonville High School was ranked in the top 1000 best high schools in the nation according to the Newsweek magazine's Top 1000 US Schools. Public schools are ranked according to a ratio called the Challenge Index.
In April 2007, Bentonville High School was approved as an International Baccalaureate World School. In the 2007-2008 school year 16 juniors signed up for the program of in-depth studies, and that number has grown every year. BHS is one of two schools in Arkansas that received the National Blue Ribbon School award in 2007, and one of 38 public high schools in the nation.
