Summary:
The 72117 zip code area in Arkansas is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, operated by 3 different school districts: Lisa Academy, North Little Rock School District, and Pulaski County Special School District. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among these schools, with the Lisa Academy North Elementary School and Lisa Academy North Middle School standing out as the top performers in the area.
The Lisa Academy North High School is particularly impressive, with a statewide rank between 14-40 out of 291-305 high schools and a 4-5 star rating. This charter school boasts very high proficiency rates in core subjects, often exceeding 50% and in some cases reaching over 90%, significantly outperforming the state and district averages. In contrast, Glenview Elementary and Harris Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates below 20% in many subject areas.
The data also reveals that the majority of the schools in the 72117 zip code have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.38% to 100%, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary significantly across the schools, these factors do not appear to directly correlate with academic performance, indicating that other factors, such as school leadership, curriculum, and teaching quality, may play a more important role in driving student success.
