LAWSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

LAWSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in LITTLE ROCK, AR with about 290 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, LAWSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

LAWSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a public school located in the Ferndale area of Little Rock, Arkansas, serving students within the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Situated in a quieter, semi-rural setting, the school focuses on providing a foundational academic experience for its elementary-age students. As part of the PCSSD, the school follows the district’s broader curriculum standards, which emphasize literacy, mathematics, and science, while fostering a community-oriented environment typical of smaller neighborhood schools.

Beyond core academics, Lawson Elementary aims to support the holistic development of its student body through various extracurricular opportunities and community engagement initiatives. The school serves as a central hub for families in the western portion of Pulaski County, leveraging the resources and support of the larger district to provide technology-integrated learning and student support services.
