Kingston School District

Kingston School District was a school district headquartered in Kingston, a community in unincorporated Madison County, Arkansas.

Its school was Kingston Public School/Kingston School,[1][2] divided into Kingston Elementary School and Kingston High School.

History

In 1980 the Newton County School District dissolved, with a portion going to the Kingston district.[3]

On July 1, 2004, the Kingston district, along with the Oark School District, merged into the Jasper School District.[4] Kingston could have consolidated with the Clarksville School District and Huntsville School District, which were geographically closer, but the district administration instead chose to consolidate with the Jasper district.[5]
