In November, Rocky Gardiner from Zonda Education presented valuable demographic insights to the Prairie Grove School Board, outlining trends that will shape our district’s future growth. Key topics included Arkansas enrollment trends, Prairie Grove's housing market, national birth rates, and future housing developments. These insights project significant growth, with over 1,500 new homes expected in the next decade and enrollment forecasted to exceed 2,700 students by 2029/30 and nearly 3,000 by 2034/35.

On Monday, February 17th, the Prairie Grove School Board voted to request voter approval of a 4-mill property tax increase. The change would bring the millage rate for taxpayers in the district to 44.6 mills. The proposed millage increase and bond issue will finance the construction of a second elementary school and a Performing Arts Center. These projects aim to ensure our district is equipped to meet the needs of our growing community. 

The Prairie Grove District remains committed to providing exceptional education and resources for Prairie Grove students as our community continues to thrive. Our approach is based on strategic planning, developed through consultations with Zonda demographers and a financial consultant from First Security Bank. This process ensures we considered a variety of factors, with guidance from these professionals to inform our decisions. For additional information, please review the materials provided below.
