About Timbo High School

TIMBO HIGH SCHOOL is a regular public school located in the rural community of Timbo, Arkansas. Serving students from seventh through twelfth grade, the school has an enrollment of 103 students and maintains a student-to-teacher ratio of 6.4:1 with 16 full-time equivalent teachers.

Despite these challenges, the dedicated faculty works hard to support student development and offers a range of programs to engage students.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 103 students, Timbo High School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 6.4:1, Timbo High School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

Located in a rural area, Timbo High School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
