Original Research by School Decision on Rockefeller Early Childhood Center
Rockefeller Early Childhood Center is listed by the NCES as inactive, and its operational status is "Inactive." There is no enrollment data, no student demographic information, no state assessment results, no graduation rate, and no civil rights data available. The school served grade "M through M," which is not a standard grade designation in the data, but the entity's name indicates it was an early childhood center. Because it does not serve tested grades, there are no proficiency or performance metrics to examine. The school's charter status is not a charter school, and its magnet and Title I statuses are not recorded.
Without operational or academic data, the only substantive facts about this school are its name, its location at 700 E. 17th Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, and its status as part of the Little Rock School District. The Little Rock School District had no parent-relevant changes found in publicly reported sources for recent years; the search for referendums, bond elections, curriculum adoptions, or school closures returned no results.
The surrounding city of Little Rock is Arkansas's capital and largest city, functioning as a mix of government, commercial, healthcare, and residential uses. Major employers include the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Children's Hospital, Dillard's, Windstream Communications, and several banks. Downtown areas like the River Market district offer walkable street life, while the broader city is largely car-dependent outside the core. Housing in the area around the school was valued at close to the midpoint of the state's benchmark, and rents were modest relative to national figures, though a parent should verify current listings. The community's growth has included industrial expansion at the Port of Little Rock and the Clinton Presidential Center, with the city's population estimated to have grown modestly since the 2020 census.
Given that the school is inactive and no data exists on its programming, student body, or outcomes, this account cannot describe an academic pathway, peer environment, or student support system. A parent or resident looking at this school would need to contact the Little Rock School District directly to learn whether the center has been repurposed, replaced, or permanently closed, and what early childhood options are currently available in the area. The lack of data here is not a reflection of performance; it is a reflection that the school is no longer operating in an active capacity.
