Springdale School District

Summary:

The Springdale School District in Arkansas encompasses 29 schools, including 18 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 5 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population and features a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Willis Shaw Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Don Tyson School Of Innovation, an alternative school with exceptional performance.

The district also has a strong presence of specialized schools, such as the Don Tyson School Of Innovation, which have demonstrated success in addressing the unique needs of certain student populations.
