Summary

Premier High School Of Russellville in Little Rock, AR, is a small alternative high school serving just 31 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the Premier High Schools Of Arkansas district. The school is designed to offer a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, which typically allows for more individualized attention, and it serves a high-needs population with over 61% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school is facing significant challenges, as it is ranked in the 1st percentile among all high schools in Arkansas, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The most critical issue at Premier High School Of Russellville is its extremely high dropout rate of 38.7% for the 2024-2025 school year, meaning nearly 4 out of every 10 students leave before graduating. This rate is more than double that of its sister school, Premier High School Of Little Rock (17.9%), and dramatically higher than nearby schools like Parkview Magnet High School (0.4%) and Central High School (3.2%). Academic performance is also a major concern, with 0% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Algebra, and only 3.3% proficient in Reading. The only relative bright spot is Biology, where 18.2% of students are proficient, which is higher than the district average but still far below the state average of 42.7%.

This school is part of a troubling district-wide pattern, as all four schools in the Premier High Schools Of Arkansas district rank in the bottom 5% of the state and share extremely high dropout rates and low test scores. The contrast with nearby high-performing schools is stark—for example, Lisa Academy West High School has a 93.5% graduation rate and proficiency rates of 38-40% in ELA and Reading. For parents, the data suggests that while Premier High School Of Russellville aims to provide a supportive environment for at-risk students, it is currently struggling to retain students and prepare them academically, making it important to carefully consider other options in the area.
