Arkansas Arts Academy High School (formerly Benton County School of the Arts High School) is a public charter school located in the city of Rogers, Arkansas. The school provides secondary education focused on artistic and academic programs for students in grades 7 through 12. It is one of nine public high schools in Benton County, one of three charter schools in Northwest Arkansas, and the sole high school administered by the Arkansas Arts Academy, which acts as a school district for the high school and the Arkansas Arts Academy Elementary/Middle School (kindergarten through grade 6).
On September 4, 2001, the first day of class for the then Benton County School of the Arts charter school began for students kindergarten through grade 8. Subsequently, in August 2007, the Northwest Arkansas Academy of Fine Arts (NWAAFA) was established for grades 9 through 12. On July 1, 2009, the two schools merged to form the Benton County School of the Arts (BCSA) school district to include the renamed BCSA High School. In 2014, both the high school and elementary/middle school were renamed Arkansas Arts Academy. In 2018, the high school campus was renovated and made much bigger, the only building left untouched being the Performing Arts Center (PAC).
Arkansas Arts Academy has a school board of seven members.
Arkansas Arts Academy High School is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and the assumed course of study follows the Smart Core curriculum developed by the ADE, which requires students complete at least 28 units prior to graduation.
