Previously the Delta Special School District served Rohwer. The district had two schools, Delta Elementary School and Delta High School.[9] In 2004 the Arkansas Legislature approved a law that forced school districts with fewer than 350 students apiece to consolidate with other districts.[10][11] On July 1, 2004, the Delta Special district merged into the McGehee district.[12] After the acquisition of the Delta Special School District, the McGehee district continued to operate Delta Elementary School and Delta High School.[13] By October 2005 the Delta campus became elementary only.[14] By October 2006 the Delta campus was no longer in operation.[15]
