Original Research by School Decision on Arp Coop Alternative School
ARP COOP ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL is closed and no longer operating. The school was an alternative middle-grade campus located in New London, Texas, within the West Rusk County Consolidated ISD.
Because the school is closed, no current enrollment, student demographic, state assessment, or academic performance data are available. The data system retains the school's record but shows no active students or recent operational information.
New London itself is a small, rural town in northwestern Rusk County, East Texas, built around oil and gas work and defined by deep historical trauma from the London School explosion of 1937, the deadliest school disaster in U.S. history. The town's population has been stable and modest for decades, centered on oilfield service employment, a nursing home, and the school district. The West Rusk County Consolidated ISD, which operated this alternative school, serves the broader area and in 2025 secured voter approval for a bond to build a new elementary campus after two earlier bond attempts failed. The district is addressing infrastructure challenges in its aging facilities, a context that may inform why an alternative program like ARP COOP is no longer active.
Families seeking K-12 options in New London should contact West Rusk County Consolidated ISD directly to learn what programs currently serve middle-grade students in the district.
