Dermott High School is an accredited public high school located in the community of Dermott, Arkansas, United States. It is the only high school administered by the Dermott School District and is one of two public high schools based in Chicot County, Arkansas. The school has just over 200 students, in grades 7 through 12.
In summer 1885, Dermott established its first public white school, which was used in the winter as a black school. After its first year, various buildings were used until 1908 when the current school system was established including a new elementary school. The original 1908 brick building was used until 1976.
The typical course of study follows the Smart Core curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). Students complete regular (core and elective) and career focus courses and exams, with optional Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and exams. Graduating students who complete Smart Core requirements and maintain a 3.5 Grade Point Average (GPA) or above will be conferred as Honor Graduates.
Dermott is accredited by the ADE and has been accredited by AdvancED since 1954.
