Star City School District encompasses 402.34 square miles (1,042.1 km2) of land in Lincoln and Cleveland counties.[5]

History

The school district was first established in 1918.[2]

On July 1, 1985, the Glendale School District consolidated into the Star City district.[6]

In 2004 the Arkansas Legislature approved a law that forced school districts with fewer than 350 students apiece to consolidate with other districts.[7] In May 2004 the Arkansas Board of Education voted unanimously to merge the Grady School District into the Star City district.[8] On July 1, 2004, the Grady School District was merged into the Star City district.[6] Grady High, previously in operation,[9] immediately closed, while Grady Elementary was still in operation.[10]

Schools

Its schools include Jimmy Brown Elementary School,[11] Star City Middle School,[12] and Star City High School.[13]

In the 2004-2005 school year it operated Grady Elementary School.[10] The 2005-2006 Arkansas School Directory did not list Grady Elementary.[14]

gollark: That way you could boost 14 servers.
gollark: Actually, why buy ONE nitro when you could buy SEVEN?
gollark: I see you like red turtles.
