North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) is a public school district headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States.
The three school districts within the county—Little Rock School District (LRSD), North Little Rock School District (NLRSD), and Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD)—have been involved in a desegregation case that the courts determined were unconstitutionally segregated and placed under court supervision since 1982. After numerous actions were satisfied, including incorporating those schools within the City of Little Rock boundaries to be unitary with the LRSD, those actions led to the annexation of J. A. Fair High School from PCSSD to LRSD in 1987. In 2007, the courts determined that all actions by LRSD were completed and that court supervision continues until NLRSD and PCSSD actions are completed.
The district has one high school, North Little Rock High School, which has grades 9-12. In the school year(2016-2017) the North Little Rock School district opened a new facility for all students 9-12.
Scipio Jones High School, the segregated public school for black children, was established in 1909 and disestablished in 1970.
All K-8 students and students at NLR Academy are required to wear school uniforms.
