Comparing 40 Central Arkansas EFA schools
Every Central Arkansas school on the state's 2024-25 EFA list, with the numbers from the state's annual report: EFA enrollment, the share of each school's students using an account, how many stayed, and how EFA students tested.
Among schools with at least 40 EFA students, the highest same-school retention was at Calvary Academy (96%), St. Theresa Catholic School (95%), Pinnacle Classical Academy (95%). Retention partly reflects grade span: a school ending at grade 5 or 8 loses its graduates every year.

Source: 2024-25 Arkansas EFA Program Annual Report, Tables 1 and 2 and Appendix C. 'Stayed' columns show the share of each school's 2024-25 EFA students who continued in the program, and at the same school, in 2025-26 (graduates count as leaving). Percentiles are averages of EFA students' scores on nationally norm-referenced tests (50 = national median). '—' means not reported, including schools whose tests do not produce percentiles.

How to read this
A high EFA share usually means the school's office is practiced with ClassWallet billing. High retention suggests families who tried the school with an account stayed. Test percentiles are averages for EFA students only, on whichever national test the school gives. Use them as a starting point for questions, not a ranking.
