In 2004 the Arkansas Legislature approved a law that forced school districts with fewer than 350 students apiece to consolidate with other districts. In May 2004 the Arkansas Board of Education voted unanimously to merge the Grady School District into the Star City district. On July 1, 2004, the Grady School District was merged into the Star City district. The former Grady district operated Grady High School when it existed. As a result of the 2004 merger, Grady High had consolidated into Star City High.
