We are excited to announce that the Izard County STEM School District earned a B academic letter grade from the Arkansas Department of Education for the 2025-2026 school year. All three schools in the school district had significant academic growth this past school year.
This letter grade represents the hard work of our students, the tireless dedication of our teachers and staff members who are committed to ensuring our students learn and grow every day, and the continued support of our Cougar community - students, parents, guardians, patrons, and school board members.
Additionally, we are proud to announce that Izard County Middle School has been recognized as a 2025-2026 Arkansas Gem School by the Arkansas Department of Education [@ArkansasEd]! This year, Izard County Middle School showed significant growth, indicating improved instruction and meaningful growth for our students. Congratulations to our students and teachers on this great accomplishment!
Every student. Every day. Whatever it takes!
