Little Rock has two clusters of top-rated public schools, one found southwest of town around Bryant and another near the shore of the Arkansas River in the northwest-central part of Little Rock.
Of the two, the "river patch" near the Heights and Riverdale neighborhoods is our pick for parents looking to rent near good public schools, unless they have high school-aged children, in which case we'd suggest shifting to the area near Bryant.
Having picked the area near the river as our first choice, we will use average property rent and school ratings to identify our individual property picks to provide the best value for each grade level.
