Mineral Springs High School is a comprehensive public high school in Mineral Springs, Arkansas, United States that serves grades 7 through 12. It is one of three public high schools in Howard County and the only high school managed by the Mineral Springs Saratoga School District.

Contents

In September 2012, the school district's other high school, Saratoga High School, was closed after the state Board of Education discovered the high school did not provide the required 38 courses. As a result, students were merged into Mineral Springs High School.

The assumed course of study is the Smart Core curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Education. Students may engage in regular and Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and exams prior to graduation. Mineral Springs has been accredited by AdvancED (formerly North Central Association) since 1998.

The high school is listed unranked in the Best High Schools 2012 Report by U.S. News & World Report.
