ALPENA SCHOOL DISTRICT

Located at 300C South Denver in Alpena, Arkansas (Zip 72611), the Alpena School District is an active, traditional public school system serving families within a distant rural community setting in the Harrison metropolitan area. The district operates two campuses that deliver a complete PK–12 educational pathway, providing seamless learning experiences from early pre-kindergarten programs through senior high school graduation. As an independent public school district unaffiliated with charter networks or supervisory unions, Alpena focuses on delivering a stable, locally rooted environment tailored to the academic, social, and developmental needs of its small-town student body.

The district currently enrolls 402 students, boasting a balanced co-educational makeup of 206 female and 196 male learners across consistent, small class cohorts at every grade level. Reflecting its local community context, the student body is predominantly White (377 students), alongside vibrant representation from Hispanic (17), Black (6), American Indian (1), and Asian (1) students. Educational outcomes and administrative operations are backed by a sizeable staff footprint of roughly 231 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, including nearly 149 FTE teachers alongside instructional aides and support personnel.
