On July 1, 2006, the Elaine School District merged into the Marvell School District.[5]
In 2008–2009 the school district had a total of 595 square miles (1,540 km2) of land.[6]
Under a previous law, circa 2023, the district had the possibility of a mandatory consolidation due to a smaller demographic figure. By 2023 the Arkansas LEARNS Act allowed for smaller school districts to continue operations.[7]
Facilities
editThe district administration building is directly behind a Citgo gas station, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 49 and North Pine.[8]
- Marvell Primary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5.
- Marvell High School, serving grades 6 through 12.[9]
Both are located on U.S. Route 49, the main highway passing through Marvell.[8]
