Hamburg School District is a public school district headquartered in the S. P. Portis Administration Building in Hamburg, Arkansas, United States.[2] The district is one of three school districts based in Ashley County, Arkansas and operates four schools serving the following rural, fringe communities in Ashley, Drew, and Chicot counties. [3] [4][5] Communities served by the district include Hamburg, Fountain Hill, Parkdale, Portland, Wilmot, and a section of North Crossett.[3]

As of 2010–11 school year, the district has 2,070 students and 147.03 classroom teachers (on full-time equivalent basis) and a student/teacher ratio of 14.08.[1] As of 2010 the district is the second largest in geographic size in Arkansas as it has 772 square miles (2,000 km2) of area.[6]

As a result of a series of consolidations with the Portland, Wilmot, Parkdale, and Fountain Hill school districts, junior high and high school students from these communities travel to Hamburg for classes. The former Parkdale Elementary School is closed, and the school board has approved the transportation of Fountain Hill’s elementary students to Hamburg beginning with the 2006–07 school year. Local school officials have made plans to open a cooperative alternative school on the Fountain Hill campus.[7]
