Current Community Schools

There are currently six schools located in the southern, southeastern, and central portions of the city: Chicot, Mabelvale, Stephens, Washington, and Watson elementary schools, and Mabelvale Middle School.

The current schools were chosen from key locations in some of Little Rock's most vulnerable neighborhoods, identified to have needs including food insecurity, lack of access to healthcare, large numbers of families whose first language is not English, and high rates of absenteeism among students. Across these schools, large numbers of students were not reading at grade level. In coming years, we anticipate expanding the Community Schools program to include additional elementary and middle schools.
