Dear Student, Parent, and/or Guardian of NLR Academy;
After careful consideration, North Little Rock High School has determined that classification of students based on the number of years they have been in high school is a practice that should not continue. The practice has caused confusion on the part of both the student and their family leading to misunderstandings regarding the graduation status of credit deficient students.
You are receiving this letter because you are either a student who is credit deficient based on current grade level or the parent/guardian on one.
Beginning in November 2019, students whose cumulative credit total is insufficient for the grade in which they are classified, will be re-classified to the appropriate grade level. For example, if a student is currently listed as a junior but has a cumulative credit total of less than 11, that student will be re-classified as a sophomore.
To be considered on-time for graduation, students must have earned the following number of credits by the end of the school year to move to the next grade classification:
Sophomore – 5.5 cumulative credits
Junior – 11 cumulative credits
Senior – 16.5 cumulative credits
After this initial correction in November 2019, grade classification will only change once a full school year has been completed.
Come and join us at the School Safety Symposium, scheduled for 11/12 at the NLRHS Performing Arts Center. You will hear from district leaders about our commitment to keep students and staff safe.
There will be a moderated Question & Answer session. We ask that you email your questions beforehand to safeschools@nlrsd.org.
See you there!

The district is aware of flooding in a number of areas. We ask that you use extreme caution as safety is top priority. Our transportation department is making sure students get to school safely, although there will be some delays. Tardies will be excused today as a result of the flooding. Thank you for understanding.

PARENTS: Be aware of the Momo Challenge, which encourages young people to perform dangerous acts on themselves. Please monitor their online activity.
NLR Academy leaders were recognized at tonight’s board meeting. The school was saluted at the Arkansas State Capitol for a 100% pass rate on the civics exam and a 4 point average improvement score on the ACT.
We hosted an ACT Boot Camp last Saturday morning.
Students were engaged and were very appreciative of the opportunity for the additional support. For students to commit to their future on a Saturday morning is quite impressive! We wish them all the best!
