My husband has a job that transfers to little rock we are looking to buy a house in the daisy bates elementary (pulaski school district I think it is) school area, anybody know if this is a good school / district? The ratings didn't seem great but I do know this can be misleading as far as personal experiences are concerned? Is this a safe area? What school districts near there would be better, maybe we'll look at other houses if this is not a great school or safe area? A good school and safe area are important. Any other info would be helpful, areas to avoid buying, schools to avoid etc. We will have elementary and middle school kids.so middle school suggestions are welcome too. TIA

Added note - was reading forest park school is pretty good, do little rock schools accept out of district transfers fairly easily? I wouldn't mind the 20 minute drive? Are there any schools closer that are good? I'm so conflicted because we found a house near bates that we love but if the area is anything like the bad reviews in seeing at the school we will not take it

We are looking at areas outside of little rock city limits to buy as we want property

there are also some good school districts close to little rock, like benton, bryant and cabot. (conway is a great option, but the commute for your husband is greater) and since you mentioned safety, these places i mentioned offer a safe environment, in and out of school. (at last count, cabot had nine elementary schools. so lot's of young people in that area. cabot pop 26k)



as has been mentioned, there are some great private schools in the little rock area also.


my sil moved around little rock several times to keep her son in the school of her choice, then finally sent him to a private high school.



also, with your plan to buy property outside little rock proper, you should be fine as far as safety goes. (we sold a condo in west little rock last year, due to safety concerns)

I've lived almost my entire life in Little Rock, in historic districts, downtown, and even suburbia, and never once have I felt unsafe - and certainly not to the point of selling property. What compelled you to do so? Nothing serious I hope...
