Education

The district includes Northside Elementary (pre-kindergarten and kindergarten), Delbert “Pete” and Pat Allen Elementary (grades one and two), Southside Elementary (grades three through five), Siloam Springs Middle School (grades six through eight), and the Siloam Springs High School (grades nine through 12).
