Best Public Schools in Zip Code 72117


Summary:

The 72117 zip code area of 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 standout schools in this area are the Lisa Academy North Middle School, which ranks 81st out of 335 Arkansas middle schools and has a 4-star rating, and the Lisa Academy North High School, which ranks 23rd out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 5-star rating. These charter schools consistently outperform the state and district averages across multiple subject areas. In contrast, Glenview Elementary and Harris Elementary, traditional public schools, struggle significantly, ranking in the bottom 10-20 elementary schools in the state.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the Lisa Academy charter schools and the traditional public schools in the area. The Lisa Academy schools have lower free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios, yet they still outperform the higher-spending traditional public schools. This suggests their educational model may be more effective. The consistent decline in rankings and ratings for Glenview Elementary and Harris Elementary is concerning and indicates these schools may need substantial interventions to improve student outcomes.
