Dear Parents and Families,
The Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has released district letter grades for the 2024–2025 school year as part of the state’s updated accountability system.
We’re proud to share that McCrory Public Schools received a “B” rating! This accomplishment reflects the dedication and hard work of our students, teachers, and staff. The state’s annual accountability report looks at several areas, including academic achievement and growth, postsecondary readiness through Merit and Distinction diplomas, and graduation rates.
We’re incredibly proud of the progress our students continue to make and remain committed to providing engaging, high-quality learning experiences for every child. While this rating celebrates many of our successes, it also encourages us to keep growing and striving for even greater achievements.
Thank you to our families, staff, and community for your continued support of McCrory Schools. Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of our students and helping each one reach their full potential.

The Sigma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma is excited to award its first Brenda Williams Memorial Classroom Teacher Grant to Lindsay Clay, the new MES counselor. The $250 grant was developed for classroom teachers who are in need of support for materials or projects in their classroom or school. Lindsay is planning to use the funds to purchase items needed for a sensory room. This is one way that Sigma Chapter supports the teachers from the towns of Augusta, McCrory, Des Arc, and Hazen. This grant was developed in memory of Brenda Williams, a member of Sigma Chapter and teacher of Des Arc schools. Carrie Bowling, President, along with Vonda Dozier, treasurer, are presenting Lindsay with her check. Congratulations Lindsay!!
