Education

Public education for elementary and secondary school students is provided by the Wonderview School District of north Conway County, which leads students to graduate from Wonderview High School in Hattieville, seven miles south of Cleveland on Highway 95. Wonderview, whose mascot is the Daredevils, competes athletically in the smallest division of public schools in Arkansas, Class A. The school does not have a football team, due to its small class numbers.

The Daredevil boys' basketball team won the 2010 Arkansas Class A state championship. The Daredevil girls' basketball team won the 2012 and the 2018 Arkansas Class A state championships.

Wonderview boys compete athletically in basketball, bowling, baseball, and track & field. Wonderview girls compete athletically in basketball, bowling, softball, and track & field.
