Clinton School District is a public school district based in Clinton, Arkansas, United States. The district provides early childhood, elementary and secondary education for more than 1,400 prekindergarten through grade 12 students. Students are from 479.18 square miles (1,241.1 km2) of land.[citation needed]
In Van Buren County, the district includes Clinton and most of Dennard.[2] It also includes the unincorporated areas of Alread and Scotland.[3][4] The school district extends into Pope County.[5] Clinton School District is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE).
Formalized education in Clinton began in 1879 with the start of the Clinton Male and Female Academy.[6]
On July 1, 2004, the Alread School District and the Scotland School District consolidated into the existing Clinton school district.[3] An arrangement was set up to where people in the westernmost part of the former Alread school district could instead attend school in the Hector School District as they were closer to Hector than Clinton.[7]
