ACCESS Schools

EFA and ACCESS Schools

ACCESS Schools was on the state's list of EFA participating schools for 2024-25. 115 of its roughly 378 students (30%) paid with an Education Freedom Account that year.

That ranks #16 of 40 participating schools in Pulaski and Saline counties by number of EFA students. Its EFA share is below the local average of 48% across those schools.

Of those EFA students, 92% continued in the program the next school year and 90% stayed at ACCESS Schools. Statewide, schools kept 84% of their EFA students on average. Students who graduated count as leaving.

Participating schools give a nationally norm-referenced test each year. ACCESS Schools serves students with learning differences, so its percentiles (18 math, 25 reading) reflect who it serves and aren't a fair comparison with general-enrollment schools.

Families paid $394,292 to ACCESS Schools from EFA accounts in the spring 2024-25 transactions the report covers. Fall transactions aren't broken out by provider.

Paying the balance

Former Succeed Scholarship students receive the higher 2026-27 amount of $8,011. Ask whether the school bills therapies separately, and whether those can be paid from the account.

Questions to ask the school

1. Which diagnoses and support levels do you serve, and do you have openings for my child's grade?

4. Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
5. Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
