Two Rivers School District No. 10 is a public school district in Yell, Perry, and Conway counties, Arkansas, United States. Two Rivers, headquartered in an unincorporated area in Yell County near Ola, consists of two schools including Two Rivers Elementary and Two Rivers High; it previously operated Ola Elementary School/Ola High School, the Fourche Valley School, and Plainview–Rover Elementary School/Plainview–Rover High School.
The service area includes Ola, Plainview, Rover, Casa, Briggsville, and Centerville.
The school district and high school's name was chosen because of proximity to the Petit Jean River and Fourche La Fave River.




History


The district was formed on July 1, 2004 as a result of the consolidation of four former school districts:

Fourche Valley School District
Ola School District
Perry–Casa School District
Plainview–Rover School District
By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. As a result the Perry-Casa and Ola boards agreed to have a consolidation in which Perry-Casa absorbs Ola, and voters of those districts approved the consolidation. Ola and Perry-Casa then notified the Fourche Valley and Plainview-Rover districts that they were merging; the leaderships of these two districts wished to avoid consolidations ordered by the state, so they asked the Arkansas Board of Education if they could voluntarily consolidate with Ola.
In the 2010–11 school year, the district served more than 900 students.
There was a proposed millage to pay for a safe room at Two Rivers Elementary, but it was voted down in 2017 by 59% of the voters. Perry County voters accused the district of attempting to prevent their vote by putting polling locations only in Yell County.
