DeWitt School District No. 1 is a school district based in the town of DeWitt, Arkansas, United States. The DeWitt School District is geographically the state's largest school district with 872.29 square miles (2,259.2 km2) of land and 46.18 square miles (119.6 km2) of water,[ citation needed] encompassing portions of Arkansas and Jefferson, and Desha counties. [2] [3]
It operates three schools, including DeWitt High School, DeWitt Middle School, and DeWitt Elementary School.
The municipalities it serves include DeWitt, Almyra, Gillett, Saint Charles, [2] and Humphrey. [2] [3]
Additionally the district includes unincorporated areas: Arkansas Post, [4] Bayou Meto, Crocketts Bluff, Eldridge Corner, Ethel, [5] Nady, [6] One Horse Store, [5] Point Deluce, [7] Reydell, [8] Stinking Bay, and Tichnor. [5] Some areas with " Altheimer, Arkansas" postal addresses may be in the district boundaries.[ citation needed]
The 2010 U.S. Census indicated the district included a portion of Lincoln County, but in the 2020 U.S. Census that area was shown as being in Jefferson County. [9]
The 2010 census also indicated the district included a portion of Desha County, [10] but in 2020 that portion was indicated as now being in Arkansas County (while still being in the DeWitt school district). [11]
By the 1950s a school district in Jefferson County had been annexed into the DeWitt district. [12]
In 1966 the Arkansas County School District dissolved, with portions going to the DeWitt school district and others going to the St. Charles School District and other districts. [13]
On July 1, 1985, the St. Charles district consolidated into the DeWitt district. On July 1, 2004, the Gillett School District and the Humphrey School District consolidated into the DeWitt district. [14]
