- Pulaski Academy (PA) is a private, independent college preparatory, preschool, elementary, and junior/senior high school in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. PA was established in 1971 and remains as the only independent, non-sectarian, college preparatory school in Arkansas. "When busing was introduced in the early 1970s to counteract the effects of racially defined residential patterns, whites built private schools in the suburbs or fled the county altogether. In 1971, insurance and real estate man William F. Rector announced the construction of the private Pulaski Academy in the western suburbs of the city for those, he said, who "don’t like busing. ” PA is accredited by ISACS, ANSAA (Arkansas Non-public School Accrediting Association) and NCA CASI and CITA. PA is a member of the Cum Laude Society, National College Board and NAIS. Pulaski Academy was named 2003 "Best of the Best" Private High School by the readers of an Arkansas Democrat-Gazette contest. During the 2008-2009 academic year, fifteen members of the Class of 2009 were named as National Merit Scholars, three as Commended Scholars and twelve as Finalists. This was not only a record for the school, but it was also the highest number of Finalists of any high school in Arkansas. Average enrollment is approximately 1,335 students, with a student/teacher ratio of 11 to 1. The school's mascot is the Bruin and school colors are navy blue and gold. The school's football team is coached by Kevin Kelley, who has gained notoriety for his eccentric strategies, which include the total rejection of punting and returning punts, as well as a reliance on the onside kick.
