The 72206 zip code area in Arkansas is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across three different school districts - Pulaski County Special School District, Little Rock School District, and Sheridan School District.

Among the schools in the area, East End Intermediate School in the Sheridan School District stands out with the highest proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels, exceeding the state average in science by over 4 percentage points. Landmark Elementary School in the Pulaski County Special School District also performs well, with science proficiency rates above the district average. Additionally, East End Elementary School in the Sheridan School District has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate and a higher student-teacher ratio, indicating smaller class sizes.

However, many of the schools in the 72206 zip code area face significant challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates, low test scores, and wide disparities in performance. The schools with the highest poverty levels, such as Ivy Hill Preparatory Academy, College Station Elementary, and Washington Elementary, tend to have the lowest academic achievement, highlighting the strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. Addressing these inequities will require a comprehensive approach to support the students and schools in this area.
