Green Forest Schools is nestled in a valley in the beautiful Ozark Mountain Region of Arkansas surrounded by plentiful lakes and wildlife. Agriculture, technology, business basics, and family skills play a large part in the student's education as our state focuses on the maths, sciences and higher order thinking skills needed by young adults today. Many local businesses participate directly in programs at the school to enhance our student's educational opportunities as well as providing scholarship availability. Sports within the school structure and community sponsored sports abound in our small rural town allowing youth to experience team building skills and a sense of achievement for later use in life. In 1874 there were 74 school districts in Carroll County, Arkansas, and Green Forest, formerly known as Scott's Prairie, was one of them.
Today there are three public school districts in the county.
Green Forest Schools has an enrollment for the 2000-2001 term of 1230 during the first 3 weeks of school. As we explore the new possibilities for our students made available through Internet access, we also intend to focus on making parent participation in education much more realistic.
