KIRBY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Located at 2614 Highway 27 North in Kirby, Arkansas, the Kirby School District serves as an essential educational anchor for its local community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district, it delivers a seamless academic experience spanning from prekindergarten all the way through 12th grade across two primary school facilities. Set within a distinctly rural remote environment in southwestern Arkansas, this non-charter district offers accessible, comprehensive public education designed to meet the academic, social, and foundational needs of area families from early childhood through high school graduation.

The district fosters a close-knit environment for its 392 enrolled students, characterized by an even gender distribution of 196 female and 196 male learners across all grade levels. To support student achievement and campus operations, Kirby School District relies on a dedicated team of over 191 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This includes approximately 129 full-time equivalent teaching positions, 8 instructional aides, and 54 support personnel. This robust staffing framework allows the district to pair small-town community values with strong instructional support, offering parents, students, and educational researchers a compelling model of a centered, rural public school system.
