The Ashdown School District provides early childhood, elementary and secondary education for more than 1,500 kindergarten through grade 12 students at its five facilities.
Ashdown School District is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and AdvancED.
In 1914, the existing school building was moved from Burke Street to Park Avenue to provide space for a new brick school building, built in 1915 by Henry Westbrook.
It was torn down in 1964 to erect the present L. F. Henderson Intermediate School on Burke Street.
It has now been replaced by a modern seven-million-dollar facility constructed around the Rankin Street School.
