[[File:Winslow High School, Arkansas.jpg|thumb|right|This 1930 building formerly housed Winslow High School. It now contains the Winslow Public Library.]]
It is within the [[Greenland School District]], and served by [[Greenland High School]] in [[Greenland, Arkansas|Greenland]].

For many years, Winslow had its own school system, the [[Winslow School District]]. It served the city and nearby rural areas in the southern portion of Washington County.  By most counts, enrollment for grades K-12 was usually in the mid-20s per grade.

The district became part of the Greenland school district on July 1, 2004,<ref name=Consolfrom1983>"[http://www.arkansased.gov/public/userfiles/Legal/ConsolidationAnnex_from_1983.xls ConsolidationAnnex_from_1983.xls] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912013154/http://www.arkansased.gov/public/userfiles/Legal/ConsolidationAnnex_from_1983.xls |date=2015-09-12 }}." [[Arkansas Department of Education]]. Retrieved on June 4, 2018.</ref> after the Arkansas Legislature passed a state law that mandated districts with less than 350 students consolidate (Winslow had 273 students).  The high school, which actually served grades 7-12, closed at the end of the 2004–2005 school year.  The graduating class at the 2005 spring ceremony had 14 seniors.  Winslow Elementary for grades K-6 was retained for a time following the high school closure. However, in November 2006, the Greenland School Board voted to close that school at the end of the 2006–2007 school year after two years with an enrollment of about 90 students. The mascot of Winslow Public Schools was the Fighting Squirrels.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

The majority of the student body did not go to Greenland. They instead opted to transfer to the West Fork school district. The voters of Winslow are currently{{when|date=December 2022}} petitioning the Arkansas Department of Education and Arkansas Legislature to change Winslow's former district from Greenland to West Fork.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

The Winslow campus now houses the Winslow Public Library, Friends of the Library Bookstore, and Internet Cafe in the old High school building.
