EFA and Shiloh Excel Christian School
Shiloh Excel Christian School was on the state's list of EFA participating schools for 2024-25. 7 of its roughly 13 students (54%) paid with an Education Freedom Account that year.
That ranks #39 of 40 participating schools in Pulaski and Saline counties by number of EFA students. Its EFA share is above the local average of 48% across those schools.
Of those EFA students, 71% continued in the program the next school year and 71% stayed at Shiloh Excel Christian School. 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, Shiloh Excel Christian School's EFA students averaged the 38th percentile in math and the 27th in reading, below the national median of 50. Statewide, EFA students averaged the 57th and 59th.
Families paid $13,824 to Shiloh Excel Christian School 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 10 students, 1 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 10.0:1. It lists memberships in Seventh-day Adventist (General Conference).
From kindergarten through grade 8, that's 9 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $64,872 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number.
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.
