Mount St. Mary Academy has once again been selected as the top private high school in the area during the 2025-2026 school year, this time in the “Soirée Recommends Platinum Service Awards” readers’ poll, as announced in Little Rock Soirée's January 2026 issue. The honor marks the third consecutive year Mount has earned the top spot in the popular city magazine and the 10th time in five years the school has been voted the #1 best!
Earlier this school year, Mount won the Best Private High School category in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's "Best of the Best" readers' choice awards competition for the fourth straight year. The school was also named the Best Private School winner in the Arkansas Times' "Best of Arkansas 2025 and 2022" and AY Magazine's "2023 Best Of" readers' polls.
