s C H o O Learn a little about vour schools All three districts in Pulaski County have plenty to be proud of. ARKANSAS TIMES MARCH 27, I998_ w,hen you choose a neighborhood, you're also choosing a school system. The two are inevitably interlinked, and schools often are the determming factor when families are relocating. There are plenty of good-news stories in all three Pulaski County school districts, inspirational tales that help illuminate what is right about public education today. Here are brief looks at the three districts: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT The largest school district in the state, the Little Rock School District includes 35 elementary schools, eight j unior high schools, five senior high schools, one alternative learning center and one vocational-technical school. Many are incentive or magnet schools that specialize in a particular educational theme, and plenty of other are area schools in which students from particular nearby neighborhoods attend them. The Little Rock School District has much to boast about Thirteen LRSD students were named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists during the 1997-98 school year. Twelve of those honored students attend Central High School, and the other goes to Parkview. Six students were selected as National Achievement Scholarship Semifinalists four from Central, one from Parkview and one from J.A. Fair. The 1996-97graduating class of the Little Rock School District received more than $5.1 million in scholarships. The district offers more courses than any other district or private school in the state. There are computer labs in every elementary school in the district. More than 160 businesses in the city participate with schools in the Partners in Education program. . "The variety of programs offered through the district are attractive to parents because there's something for everyone," says Suellen Vann, head of communications for the District. "Parents whose children are interested in math, science, health sciences L s award-winning teachers and award-winning students." There are approximately 25,000 students in the district, with an average expenditure of $5,822. The average teachersalary in 1997- 98 is $33,8789, excluding fringebenefits. More than 53 percent of the teaching staff holds either master's degrees or doctorates. NORTH Little rock school District Parents who want a small-town school environment for their children but who still want to live smack-dab in the middle of bustling Pulaski County might want to take a long look at the North Little Rock School District. 'The district is approximately one-third the size of the Little Rock and Pulaski County Special school districts with about 9,000 total Computers have become an educational way of life In public schools. students attending the 14 elementaries, four middle schools and one high school, which issplitintotwocampusesthe Eastcampus for 9lh and 10th graders and the West campus for 11th and 12th graders. There are also three specialty programs and an alternative learning center. "One of the strongest points for us," says Shara Brazear, communications head for the district, "is that we can be a smaller-town school in a metropolitan area. We're exactly right for many people. Most teachers and employees have worked here for years. Once they work for the North Little Rock district they don't want to leave." students and recently lauiwhed several new projects. Poplar Street Middle School is an outrageously successful all sixth-grade school. Adolescents have a chance to mature and learn in an environment with their true peers. All 650 sixth-grade students in the district attend this school and are divided into seven teams. Approximately 90 students are in each team of four core teachers: math, English, science and social studies. Redwood Early Childhood Center is another exciting endeavor the North Little Rock School District undertook last year. This preschool program identifies at-risk students in North Little Rock and offers outstanding instruction as well as an exciting curriculum ' ride the bus long distances to take part in the for ail 135 students including 25 kindergarten students. Pulaski county special school DISTRICT A far-flung district of 729 square miles that covers every area of the county that doesn't fall within the Little Rock or North Little Rock city limits, the Pulaski County Special School District includes a total of 38 schools25 elementaries, one middle school, five juruor high schools, six high schools and an alternative learning center for grades 7-12. The district maintains a down-home, smalltown feel by operating under the neighborhood concept. "As long as seate are still available in your neighborhood school, then that's where you go," says Susie Roberts, a district spokeswoman. All the elementaries feed to a particular junior high, and then to a particular high school so "a majority of students end up going to school with the same kids their whole lives," Roberts notes. With 20,000 students and 2,700 employees, the Pulaski County Special School District is the count/s second largest. And there are plenty of good things happening in its schools, some of which Roberts proudly points out: There is an average of only 20 students per classroom. Several elementary schools offer a prekindergarten program for 4-year-olds, and others havean extended-day program, which supplies before- and after-school care for children to better fit parents' schedules. Five specialty theme schools offer attendance options for qualifying students. Baker Interdistrict Elementary offers an economics specialty theme, while students at College Station Elementary are offered specialized instruction in talented and gifted education. Students at Fuller Elementarv* ran elect tn program, while students at Landmark E. ementary enjoy the fine arts specialty pre gram. Fuller Junior High and Mills Univer sity Studies High School also feature a tai ented and gifted instruction specialty. About 1300 students take advantage o the many opportunities presented by thi Talented and Gifted (TAG) program, whicl encourages critical thinking and creativih as well as specific subject skills. Wilbur D. Mills University Studies High School offers a logical progression for students who have participated in the TAG specialty programs offered at College Station Elementary and Fuller Junior High. Roberts reports that many students elect tc unique program, through which they can get a head start on their college careers. That allows many to . enter college as first- or second-semester sophomores rather than as freshmen. Mills offers a more comprehensive selections of advanced placement (AP) courses and more upper-level electives to facilitate this early jump on college. The first class to graduate from the Mills University Studies program netted almost $3 million in scholarship offere. All secondary schools offer a standard core curriculum in workforce education, and about 90 percent of students get some sort of this type training. Pulaski County Special School District students, teachers and administrators are coT^sistently recognized with numerous local, state and national awards for excellence in education. Magnet schools Students who live in any school district in Pulaski County are eligible to apply for admission to magnet schools, which offer themed subject areas.

To that end, the students in the Little Rock School District will develop an appreciation for racial and cultural diversity. develop skills in problem solving and conflict resolution, and demonstrate mastery of specific skills. This will be achieved through the collaborative efforts of a Board, a dedicated and competent staff. and of parents and citizens committed to fairness, racial equity and adequate support for education.1. 2. 3. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT GOALS Implement integrated educational programs that will ensure that all students grow academically, socially and emotionally with emphasis on basic skills and academic enrichment while closing disparities in achievement. Developing and maintaining staff that is well-trained and motivated. (Communicating with colleges and universities about teacher training will be a strategy for this goal). The Little Rock School Board, administration, staff, and students will demonstrate behavior and human relations skills that value people as human beings and that are consistent with an appreciation and understanding of multicultural diversity. 4. Solicit and secure financial and other resources that are necessary to fully support our schools, including our desegregation plan. 5. 6.
