The Fayetteville Public Schools (Fayetteville School District, or FPS) is the first public school district chartered in Arkansas.[3] The system was established with the creation of public schools in Arkansas in 1871, the same year as the University of Arkansas, also located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education.[4]

In addition to the majority of Fayetteville, the district also serves most of Goshen and Johnson and portions of Elkins and Farmington.[5]
