Nestled in a rural remote setting within the Arkadelphia region, the Gurdon School District serves as a primary educational anchor for the community of Gurdon, Arkansas. Located at 1 Go-Devil Road, this fully operational, traditional public school system manages two academic campuses providing a continuous learning path from pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade.
