The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am a freshman in high school at North Little Rock High and I enjoy my teachers that I have. I just think that it can be a lot with the students and sometimes the food isn't always great. I like how involved the school is with different clubs and sports.

I have been a part of the district for my entire education as were both of my older siblings. The biggest issue with my school is that they seem to only be able to focus on one thing. They cannot support the smart and struggling kids, they cannot discipline the good and problematic children, they cannot support football and tennis, they throw all of their recourses at one problem and our school board is mainly motivated by personal agenda and popularity instead of for the children.

The overall interactions with the high School were spontaneous. The senior events were epic. Senior breakfast was a great Experience.

I dislike teaching at this school. Most of the study time and learning is done with students on cell phones looking at things I will not mention. This school is a wreck not sure if it is the lack of parents the poor leadership or the negative students... or just the stupid fail of a public school sy...
