Christian school in Fort Smith, grades PK-12. On the state's 2024-25 EFA participating list.

Where these numbers come from. EFA enrollment, retention, spending and test percentiles are from the 2024-25 Arkansas Education Freedom Accounts Program Annual Report (Arkansas Department of Education with the University of Arkansas Department of Education Reform, October 2025). Enrollment, teachers, grades and affiliation are from the U.S. Department of Education, NCES Private School Survey (2023-24 public-use file; 2021-22 where a school did not respond in 2023-24). Tuition is not reported to either, so confirm it with the school.

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?
