We're proud to share that the Arkansas Department of Education has named Harrison Public Schools an A District for 2026. That's a jump from the B we earned last year, and it places Harrison among just 26 of the 254 school districts graded across the state to earn an A.
This rise reflects the work of our students, teachers, staff, and families, and the growth and achievement they've shown in our classrooms every day.

- Forest Heights Elementary: A
