The Marvell–Elaine School District #22[2] (MESD) previously Marvell School District No. 22,[3] is a school district headquartered in Marvell, Arkansas. It serves Marvell, Elaine, and other areas in Phillips and Desha counties.[4]

On July 1, 2006, the Elaine School District merged into the Marvell School District.[5]

In 2008–2009 the school district had a total of 595 square miles (1,540 km2) of land.[6]

Under a previous law, circa 2023, the district had the possibility of a mandatory consolidation due to a smaller demographic figure. By 2023 the Arkansas LEARNS Act allowed for smaller school districts to continue operations.[7]

Facilities

[edit]

The district administration building is directly behind a Citgo gas station, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 49 and North Pine.[8]

  • Marvell Primary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5.
  • Marvell High School, serving grades 6 through 12.[9]

Both are located on U.S. Route 49, the main highway passing through Marvell.[8]
