The school district encompasses 219.99 square miles (569.8 km2) of land in Pike and Clark counties.[2][3] In addition to Murfreesboro, the district also serves Delight, Antoine,[2] Bowen, Billstown, Pike City and Pisgah.[4][5]

History

On February 25, 2010, the Delight School District, which was required to merge with another school district due to its low student population, asked the Arkansas Board of Education to be merged into the adjacent Murfreesboro district.[6]

On July 1, 2010, the Murfreesboro School District and the Delight School District merged to form the South Pike County School District.[7] The Murfreesboro district absorbed the Delight district and then changed its name to South Pike County School District.[8]

Demographics

In 2010, the pre-merger Murfreesboro district had 545 students, including 482 Whites, 26 Hispanics, and 24 African-Americans.[6]

Schools

  • Murfreesboro Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6.
  • Murfreesboro High School, serving grades 7 through 12.
