At Des Arc Elementary School, our mission is a shared commitment among staff, parents, and students to work together in preparing children to become competent, responsible citizens. We strive to provide a safe and supportive learning environment where academic success and the social, emotional, and physical development of every child are equally prioritized.

By fostering self-discipline, self-reliance, and accountability, Des Arc Elementary equips learners with strong foundational skills in math, language arts, science, social studies, and the arts. We emphasize effective communication—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and encourage critical thinking and practical application of knowledge.

Des Arc Elementary School is proud to be a place where students thrive, teachers inspire, and the community stands united in support of education. We are especially proud of the many achievements that mark our school’s success. These accomplishments are a true testament to the unwavering support we receive from our families and the greater Des Arc community. With this strong foundation, Des Arc Elementary has consistently ranked as one of the top-rated schools in the state of Arkansas.

Together, we are shaping learners who are not only academically prepared but also socially aware, emotionally resilient, and ready to thrive in the world beyond the classroom. At Des Arc Elementary, excellence is not just a goal—it’s a tradition.
