Education
The Metro Little Rock region's educational system for kindergarten through grade 12 has shown steady improvement over the past decade. Families have a choice of public and private schools in both urban and suburban settings. The region is proud of the many magnet schools that have developed to meet the needs of our talented youth. State initiatives and corporate support have led the effort to continue to improve the educational system for our children.
