Rivercrest High School is a comprehensive public high school located in unincorporated Mississippi County, Arkansas, United States, with a Wilson postal address. It is the only high school administered by the Rivercrest School District (formerly the Southern Mississippi County School District) and houses the district's administrative offices.[1]
It is one of six public high schools in Mississippi County.
The school provides secondary education in grades 7 through 12 to students in the municipalities of Wilson, Bassett, Birdsong, Dyess, Joiner, Keiser, Luxora, Marie, and Victoria. It also includes a portion of Osceola and a small portion of Etowah.[2] Additionally several unincorporated areas are on the map: Driver, and Frenchmans Bayou.[3]
The assumed course of study follows the Smart Core curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), which requires students complete at least 22 units prior to graduation. Students complete regular coursework and exams and may take Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exam with the opportunity to receive college credit. Rivercrest High School is accredited by the ADE and is accredited as a charter member of AdvancED (formerly North Central Association).[4]
