ATTENTION BOOKER ARTS MAGNET (B.A.M.) FAMILY! [LRSD Community Blueprint Survey]


ATTENTION BOOKER ARTS MAGNET (B.A.M.) FAMILY!

Let's convert B.A.M. into a STEAM School K-5 or K-8 where the school theme is "Coding in the Arts" with an infusion of technology into already existing arts programs to compete with area Charter Schools.  B.A.M. already has the ability to host large events due to its full-size gym (that includes drama performance and orchestra) and track with a football field.  Furthermore, B.A.M. is the only elementary school in the LRSD and the Little Rock Charter School System with an elementary arts program, which includes orchestra, piano lab, drama, creative movement, choir, and visual arts.  It is ranked in the top 4 in low facility upgrade needs according to the Fanning-Howey with recognition for having a greater percentage of students in the ready and exceeding categories on 2018 Spring ACT Aspire.

Save Parkview High School: A Parent’s Perspective

Save Parkview High School: A Parent’s Perspective As a parent of two students who attend Parkview Arts and Science Magnet High School, I am deeply concerned about the recent news that the Little Rock School District is studying the possibility of closing some campuses, including Parkview, as a result of the construction of new schools and the decline in enrollment 1 . I believe that closing Parkview would be a huge mistake and a great loss for the district and the community.

Parkview has a long history of achievements and recognition, both academically and athletically. It has been voted the number one high school in Pulaski County by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 2 ; rated in the top one percent
