EFA and Trinity Catholic School
In 2024-25, 71 students at Trinity Catholic School used an Education Freedom Account, about 30% of the roughly 240 enrolled. That puts it on the state's participating-school list.
Of those EFA students, 76% continued in the program the next school year and 75% stayed at Trinity Catholic 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, Trinity Catholic School's EFA students averaged the 39th percentile in math and the 43th in reading, below the national median of 50. Statewide, EFA students averaged the 57th and 59th.
Families paid $193,658 to Trinity Catholic 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 212 students, 19 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 11.0:1. It lists memberships in National Catholic Educational Association.
Paying the balance
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Little Rock typically offer parish (participating-parishioner) rates and need-based aid. Ask how the EFA applies to the parish rate and whether diocesan assistance can cover the balance.

Questions to ask the school
- How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
- 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?
- Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
- Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
