Atkins School District is located approximately twelve miles east of Russellville just off Interstate 40.  The district schools are all positioned on a 40 acre site about five blocks from I-40.  The district offers a rural atmosphere where students are known by the staff.  Atkins schools provide a fundamental yet challenging and expanded curriculum through a variety of delivery methods including the use of the most recent technology available.  Our goal is to produce graduates that have a solid educational foundation along with a good realization of self-worth and direction that will lead them to become productive citizens in the community and society.

There are three schools that make up Atkins School District.  The elementary school includes kindergarten through grade four.  It also houses two Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) classrooms for four-year-olds in the area.  The enrollment is usually around 350 students at the elementary level.  The middle school is made up of grades five through eight.  The typical enrollment in that school is around 320 students.  Atkins High School is made up of about 325 students in grades nine through twelve.

All three schools are fully accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education with no violations.  In addition, every grade in every school meets or exceeds state testing requirements.  Atkins students usually score above state average and often near the top on state assessments.  High school seniors earn hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of academic scholarships annually.

Many extracurricular opportunities are provided in addition to excellent academic programs.  A variety of athletic teams provide students the opportunity to participate in the Red Devil sports program which is highly respected in the region.  The music department develops student skills to the degree that it is common for several band or choir students to receive scholarships annually.  Students may also choose to join one of the many school sponsored clubs that are available.
