Fayetteville Public Schools


The Fayetteville Public Schools is the first public school district chartered in Arkansas. The system was established with the creation of public schools in Arkansas in 1871, the same year as the University of Arkansas, also located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education. The Fayetteville school district's public schools would successfully integrate in 1954, three years before the Little Rock Nine.
In addition to the majority of Fayetteville, the district also serves most of Goshen and Johnson and portions of Elkins and Farmington.
In 2013, the district was awarded as a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School.
