West Little Rock High Boundary Debate | Little Rock News

West Little Rock High is set to open in 2027, and the district is locked in a heated debate over how to draw its attendance boundaries — with major implications for enrollment, transportation, sports, and academic programs. Two main options are on the table: one keeps the line west of Parkview Magnet, the other pushes it further southeast. Principal Steven Helmick supports the latter for greater diversity, while board member Anna Strong urges a broader approach that includes elementary and middle school boundaries to avoid fragmented student groups. The board also weighs whether to move all students in at once or phase in grades over time, aiming to finalize a decision by August to give families time to adjust. With the goal of getting it right the first time, leaders are racing to find a long-term solution that balances equity, stability, and community needs.
