Established in 1927, the school district covers 570 square miles (1,500 km2), almost all in rural Drew County, from where all the students are bussed into Monticello. The majority of Monticello itself is not in Drew Central School District, but is within a district of its own, Monticello School District. The school administration and buildings of Drew Dentral Schools are in a section of the Monticello city limits that is within the Drew Central Schools boundaries, adjacent to the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM). These buildings are on 31 acres (13 ha) of land leased by the university to the school district. Dependent minor residents of the UAM housing for married students and students with families, HHFA Apartments, are assigned to this district. Additionally Wilmar is in the Drew Central district, as is the unincorporated area of Selma. A portion of the Drew Central district extends into Desha County.
