The district was formed in the early 1950s as part of Missouri's Education Reformation Act. Eight smaller districts, often one-room schools, were reorganized and combined with Novinger school to create the current district.[2] The current physical plant was constructed in 1953-1954, with major additions in the early 1970s and late 1990s. It houses a pre-Kindergarten / pre-school along with grades K through 6th on the northern end of the building, while graded 7 through 12 occupy the southern end.[3] A common cafeteria area in the center serves all students. Adair County R-1 participates in the State of Missouri's A+ education program.
Adair County R-1 competes in Missouri Class 1A athletics. The school is a charter member of the Tri-County athletic conference, competing in boys & girls high school and junior high basketball, high school baseball and softball, and high school and junior high track. Additionally, the athletic booster club sponsors 5th and 6th grade basketball teams.
