Little Rock School District


Summary:

The Little Rock School District encompasses 38 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with several standout institutions as well as those facing significant challenges.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Forest Park Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School, both of which are projected to rank among the best elementary schools in the state and earn 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
