Exciting Projects
New additions that include a science wing and field house at Little Rock Central High, have joined Dr. Marian G. Lacey K-8 Academy as the latest state-of-the-art facilities in LRSD’s fleet, with Pinnacle View High School coming in 2027. The stage is also set for transformation at Parkview Arts/Science Magnet High School with a full-scale renovation of the theater/auditorium slated to reopen this spring.
Technology
Forest Heights STEM Academy has an intense focus on technology for students K-8, and several LRSD campuses have EAST labs, which afford hands-on learning with many forms of technology. LRSD offers a seamless continuum of learning from pre-K through high school where students experience award-winning robotics and coding programs and engaging, real-world learning. With cutting-edge opportunities in cybersecurity, health care and technology, LRSD prepares students to excel in college and compete in a global workforce.
Programs
In 2025, the Little Rock School District became the first public school system in Pulaski County to offer students the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree through its dual credit program. With a thriving career and technical education program that offers multiple pathways — including the new licensed practical nursing partnership with Baptist Health College, set to graduate its first cohort in June 2026 — LRSD is leading the way in preparing students for college, career and life.
