Summary

Premier High School Of North Little Rock is a small alternative high school in Little Rock, AR, serving 76 students in grades 9-12, and is part of the Premier High Schools Of Arkansas district, which ranks near the bottom of the state.

The most critical concern for parents is the school's extremely low academic performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, 0% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, and only 5.3% were proficient in Reading—far below state averages of about 40%. This is even lower than nearby Little Rock Southwest High School (12.9% ELA proficiency) and a stark contrast to schools like Founders Classical Academies Of Arkansas West Little Rock (38.5% ELA proficiency) just over three miles away. The school also reports a dropout rate of 23.6%, the highest among all nearby schools, compared to just 3.2% at Central High School and 0.4% at Parkview Magnet High School. Despite these challenges, the school reports an 80% graduation rate, which may be misleading given the lack of academic mastery.

Adding to these concerns is a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 27.6:1, which is unusual for a small school and suggests limited individualized support. This is much higher than other schools in the same district, such as Premier High School of Little Rock (5.6:1) and Premier High School of Fayetteville (7.2:1). While the school serves a high-needs population, with 82.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the data indicates the current model is not effectively preparing students for college or careers. Nearby schools like Lisa Academy West High School (37.9% ELA proficiency, 1.5% dropout rate) demonstrate that better outcomes are possible in the same geographic area.
