Based in Rosston along U.S. Highway 278, the school district encompasses 345.15 square miles (893.9 km2) of land in the county, supports more than 400 students, and employs more than 80 educators and staff at its two schools and district offices.[citation needed]

Communities in its service area include Rosston, Bodcaw, Cale, Willisville,[3] Laneburg, and Oak Grove.[4]

History

The Nevada County School District formed on July 1, 1985, from the merger of Bodcaw, Cale, Laneburg, Oakgrove, and Willisville school districts.[5]

The Arkansas Board of Education voted to dissolve the Stephens School District in April 2014, and the portion in Nevada County was given to the Nevada School District. The Stephens district asked the state board to merge all of the district into the Nevada School District as a way of keeping the Stephens School open, but the state board rejected the proposal.[6]

Schools

  • Nevada Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 6.
  • Nevada High School, serving grades 7 through 12.
