Beebe School District

District Strategic Plan

At Beebe School District, the core values of safety, equity, growth, and community are what drives the success of our students and staff. The district prides itself on the vast opportunities that are available to students at every level. Beebe School District is located in the southern portion of White County and serves the towns of Beebe, McRae, Garner, Antioch, Floyd, and El Paso. Six schools make up the 5A district - Little Badger Pre-K, Beebe Early Childhood (K-1), Beebe Elementary (2-4), Beebe Middle School (5-6), Beebe Junior High (7-8), and Beebe High School (9-12). 7th-12th grade students also have the option to enroll in our Virtual Academy if they find that remote learning is their best fit. Additionally, the OASIS Center (7-12), CUBS Academy (K-6), and DREAM Academy (9-12) provide an alternate learning path for students who struggle to succeed in a traditional classroom environment. Approximately 3,350 students are enrolled in Grades Pre-K through 12. The district employs 413 staff members, with 244 of those being certified. The teacher:pupil ratio for the 2022-23 school year was 15:1.

Beebe School District’s highly dedicated faculty and staff as well as strong community backing make it a first class choice. A consistent focus on academics as well as extracurricular activities allows students to achieve a well-rounded education that prepares them for future success. In Fall 2022, Beebe Middle School, Junior High, and High School all received high growth awards from the Office of Education Policy. These awards highlight schools in Arkansas who achieved high student growth on the ACT Aspire exams in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA).

Beebe High School’s Advanced Placement programs are highly successful and continue to grow every year. In the 2018-19 school year, Beebe High School earned the first College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science Principles. Out of more than 18,000 secondary schools worldwide that offer AP courses, Beebe High School is one of only 685 to accomplish this.

In addition to the core subjects, Beebe School District prides itself on the wide range of career and technical education (CTE) opportunities available to help students learn and apply real-world skills. Engineering courses are offered starting in 5th Grade all the way through High School. Engineering and STEM are even incorporated into student projects as early as 2nd Grade. Other CTE programs offered by the high school include agricultural education, business education, career guidance, computer science, criminal justice, family and consumer sciences, health science, audio visual technology and communication, and AFJROTC.

Furthermore, Beebe High School is fortunate to partner with ASU Beebe and ASU Searcy to offer students career courses and certifications off campus, including power sports technology, automotive service technology, auto body collision repair, computerized machining technology, welding, and a health care clinical internship. Students can also join the Vanguard Academy, which is a concurrent enrollment program provided through a partnership with ASU Beebe. Through this program, students are able to prepare for the academic challenges of college by enrolling in ASU Beebe courses either at Beebe High School or on ASU Beebe’s campus before beginning full-time college studies. Located just across the street from the Beebe Schools campus, ASU Beebe is a convenient option for students who wish to enroll in classes at both locations.

With dozens of athletic and extracurricular opportunities, students at Beebe Schools can all find their niche. Athletic teams include Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Track, Volleyball, Wrestling, Cheer, Dance, and Bowling. Band, ROTC, FFA, FBLA, HOSA, FCCLA, Choir, and Theatre are just a few of the award-winning extracurricular organizations that students can join.

At Beebe School District, providing students with a safe and positive school environment goes hand in hand with academic teaching and learning. Beebe School District is committed to an ongoing, collaborative relationship with parents and community members. In Beebe, “Badger Pride Runs Deep,” and this can be seen throughout the city and schools.
