Little Rock High School was established in 1905 at 1401 Scott Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. The neoclassical brick edifice is now part of the MacArthur Park Historic District.
Little Rock High School was fourth in a sequence of high schools in the city:
- Sherman School (1869-1885) at 8th & Sherman
- Scott Street School (City High School) (1885-1890) at 14th & Scott
- Peabody School (1890-1905) at West Capitol & Gaines
- Little Rock High School (1905-1927) at 14th & Cumberland
- Central High School (1927-present) at 15th & Park
In 1927 the city built a new Little Rock High School in West End Park. This new Little Rock High was renamed Central High School in 1955 in response to the construction of Hall High School. Old Little Rock High School became Eastside Junior High School.
In 2002 the school became a residential structure known as the Eastside Lofts. The Eastside School Auditorium also survives.
