Little Rock Christian Academy

EFA and Little Rock Christian Academy

Little Rock Christian Academy was on the state's list of EFA participating schools for 2024-25. 637 of its roughly 1,572 students (41%) paid with an Education Freedom Account that year.

That ranks #1 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, 94% continued in the program the next school year and 94% stayed at Little Rock Christian Academy. Statewide, schools kept 84% of their EFA students on average. Students who graduated count as leaving.

On the nationally norm-referenced tests participating schools must give, Little Rock Christian Academy's EFA students averaged the 64th percentile in math and the 61th in reading, above the national median of 50. Statewide, EFA students averaged the 57th and 59th.

Families paid $2,137,156 to Little Rock Christian Academy from EFA accounts in the spring 2024-25 transactions the report covers. Fall transactions aren't broken out by provider.

In the federal Private School Survey (2023-24), the school reported 1,534 students, 150 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 10.2:1.

From kindergarten through grade 12, that's 13 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $93,704 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number. Pre-K years are not covered; the account starts at kindergarten.

Paying the balance

Church schools often offer member, sibling and staff discounts. Ask whether they still apply when part of the bill is paid from an EFA, and which fees (books, uniforms, technology) the school invoices through ClassWallet.

Questions to ask the school

1. How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
2. What is the full cost for my child's grade, including registration, books, uniforms and fees, and what's left after the $7,208 account?
3. Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
4. Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
5. Which concurrent-credit courses do you offer, and can those fees come from the account?
6. Do you have openings in pre-K, and does a pre-K seat carry into kindergarten, when the account starts?
