LRSD achieves significant milestone based on latest ATLAS assessment results/cut scores. Div. of Elem&Sec. Ed at ADE announced that LRSD has surpassed the performance threshold outlined by the State & will no longer be required to participate in quarterly Act 1082 check-ins.

🎓 John Baylor, CEO of On To College, visited Central, Southwest, and Parkview High School students this week! Thanks to a grant from the AR Dept. of Ed., LRSD students have access to ACT prep resources to boost scores, earn scholarships, and achieve their college dreams. 💡 LRSD high school students, don’t miss out! Connect with your school counselors to learn more about this amazing opportunity available to ALL students in the district.

Last week, Superintendent Dr. Jermall Wright held engaging discussions with students at Hall-West, Little Rock Southwest, and Parkview and Central High Schools about cell phone usage in schools. Students shared valuable insights on how cell phones impact their academics and activities. These conversations are helping shape the district’s approach to creating a positive learning environment.
