School Feeder Pattern

District
Little Rock School District (LRSD). Every public school located in the core research area is an LRSD school in the Arkansas Dept. of Education's records (Forest Heights STEM Academy, Pulaski Heights Elementary and Middle, and Little Rock Hall STEAM Magnet High School are all listed under Little Rock School District). Note: the City of Little Rock as a whole also contains a Pulaski County Special School District pocket in the far west of the city (per the DFA millage table) — that pocket is outside this core scope. Confirm a specific address with LRSD.✓ Arkansas Dept. of Education — My School Info / Little Rock School District
Elementary
McDermott Elementary School (LRSD) — the zoned elementary for the sampled Midtown pocket per LRSD's published 2025-26 elementary attendance zone map (provenance: the district's published zone map, read 2026-10-24; the pocket is anchored by the two corridor addresses run in LRSD's finder at Step-0 — 1412 N Hughes St and 7 Wingate Dr). K-8 ambiguity, noted: J.A. Fair K-8 Preparatory Academy's zone also covers this pocket at grade 7 (see school_middle) — the elementary-age assignment per the zone map is McDermott. Midtown has no formal boundaries and zones vary across the wider corridor — confirm a specific address with LRSD's school finder.✓ Little Rock School District — 2025-26 Elementary Attendance Zone Map (published map, read 2026-10-24; via Attendance & Board Member Zone Maps)
Middle
J.A. Fair K-8 Preparatory Academy (LRSD) — LRSD's own school finder designates J.A. Fair as the zoned school at grade 7 for both sampled corridor addresses (1412 N Hughes St; 7 Wingate Dr — finder run at Step-0, 2026-10-24). J.A. Fair is a K–8 school; its grade-7 zone covers this pocket. CORRECTED at Step-0: an earlier draft named Pulaski Heights Middle School as the zoned middle school for the core — LRSD's finder does not support that for these addresses and the claim is removed. Zones vary across the wider corridor — confirm a specific address with LRSD's school finder.✓ Little Rock School District — School Finder (via Attendance & Board Member Zone Maps), run 2026-10-24
High school
Little Rock Central High School (LRSD, grades 9–12, 1500 Park Street, Little Rock, AR 72202) — LRSD's own school finder designates Central as the zoned school at grade 10 for both sampled corridor addresses (1412 N Hughes St; 7 Wingate Dr — finder run at Step-0, 2026-10-24). Little Rock Hall STEAM Magnet High School (6700 H Street, at the core's western side) is a magnet school — it is NOT the zoned high school for these addresses (an earlier draft's framing implied otherwise; corrected at Step-0). Zones vary across the wider corridor — confirm a specific address with LRSD's school finder.✓ Little Rock School District — School Finder (via Attendance & Board Member Zone Maps), run 2026-10-24

Local Financing Dynamics

Millage rate
70.0 total mills for a City of Little Rock home in the Little Rock School District, per the Arkansas DFA 2024 Millage Report (2025 collections), Pulaski County table: LRSD school total 46.4 + City of Little Rock total 15.1 + Pulaski County total 8.5 = 70.0 mills. CONFLICT NOTE: the City of Little Rock Finance millage table lists 70.50 mills / 1.41% — a 0.5-mill difference; the DFA 2024 figure is used here because the City's own Oct 6, 2025 annual levy ordinance fixes the city levies at 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 3.8 + 1.3 = 15.1 mills, exactly the DFA city total (the city Finance table's older capital-improvements figure accounts for the gap). mills✓ Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — 2024 Millage Report (2025 Collections)
School millage
46.4 mills — the Little Rock School District school levy, per the Arkansas DFA 2024 Millage Report (2025 collections), Pulaski County school-district breakdown for Little Rock School District (total 46.4). mills✓ Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — 2024 Millage Report (2025 Collections)
Property tax rate
About 1.40% effective. Math, the exemplar way: Arkansas assesses property at 20% of appraised value; 20% × 70.0 total mills (0.0700) = 0.0140 = 1.40% of appraised value — roughly $2,800/year on a $200,000 home ($200,000 × 20% = $40,000 assessed × 0.0700 = $2,800). Computed from the DFA 2024 total above; the City of Little Rock Finance table's 70.50-mill figure would give 1.41% / about $2,820 on the same home — see the conflict note on the millage_rate row.✓ Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — 2024 Millage Report (2025 Collections)
Day to day

Amenities & Commute

Trails & parks
War Memorial Park, on the east side of the core along Markham and Monroe streets, is the core's principal park; the City of Little Rock's Midline page treats War Memorial Park, the District at Midtown, and a University Avenue crossing ("University Crossing") as segments of its planned east–west Midline bike/pedestrian corridor, and notes an existing paved I-630 Trail running along I-630 from the western edge of the former Sears development to Mississippi Rd., plus trail networks in Kanis Park and Boyle Park to the south. Midline segments beyond the existing I-630 Trail are a city plan in progress, not a completed trail — the city page says so.✓ City of Little Rock — Midline
Notable
The core's anchor institutions sit on the corridors themselves: UAMS (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences), 4301 West Markham Street, Little Rock, AR 72205 — UAMS describes itself as "located in the heart of Little Rock at 4301 W. Markham" and "easily accessible from Interstate 630" — and, just south of the UAMS campus, the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans' Hospital (VA Central Arkansas Health Care), 4300 West 7th Street, Little Rock, AR 72205. UA Little Rock anchors the south end of the University Avenue corridor at 2801 South University Avenue (72204).✓ UAMS (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences)

Questions buyers ask

What is Midtown in Little Rock, and where is it?

Midtown is the name used for central Little Rock around the University Avenue and W. Markham Street corridors, near UAMS and the VA hospital. It has no formal boundaries — the City of Little Rock itself uses "midtown Little Rock" for the War Memorial Park area along Markham and Monroe streets, and the Registry describes the hood the same way: established mid-century neighborhoods around those two corridors.

What schools serve Midtown, Little Rock?

Midtown is in the Little Rock School District (LRSD). At the corridor addresses checked in LRSD's own school finder (1412 N Hughes St and 7 Wingate Dr, 2026-10-24), the zoned schools are McDermott Elementary (per the district's published 2025-26 elementary zone map), J.A. Fair K-8 Preparatory Academy and Little Rock Central High School. Little Rock Hall STEAM Magnet High School is in the area but is a magnet school — it is not the zoned high school for those addresses. Zones vary by address across the corridor — confirm a specific address with LRSD's school finder.

What are property taxes like in Midtown, Little Rock?

A Midtown home is a City of Little Rock home in the Little Rock School District, taxed at 70.0 total mills in the Arkansas DFA 2024 Millage Report (2025 collections): 46.4 school + 15.1 city + 8.5 county. Arkansas assesses at 20% of appraised value, so the effective rate is about 1.40% — roughly $2,800 a year on a $200,000 home. (The City of Little Rock Finance table lists 70.50 mills / 1.41%; see the millage conflict note in the fact rows.)
