Summary

Lisa Academy North Elementary School in Sherwood, AR, is a public charter school serving 654 students in grades K-5, and it is part of the Lisa Academy district.

This school stands out for its remarkable efficiency: it spends just $9,071 per student, which is dramatically less than every nearby school—for example, Harris Elementary School spends $22,401 per student, and Crestwood Elementary School spends $12,666. Despite this lean budget and a high student-teacher ratio of 21.1:1, Lisa Academy North achieves test scores that are competitive with or better than many schools that spend far more. For instance, it outperforms William Jefferson Clinton Elementary School in both math (33.9% vs. 25.4% proficient) and English Language Arts (40.8% vs. 27.9% proficient). However, the school has a clear weakness in math and science, where proficiency rates (33.9% and 34.6%, respectively) fall well below the state averages of 44.1% and 44%.

For parents, Lisa Academy North offers a solid middle-ground option in a highly unequal educational landscape. It significantly outperforms the lowest-performing nearby schools like Ridge Road Elementary School and Glenview Elementary School, but it cannot match the top-tier results of Crestwood Elementary School or Sherwood Elementary School. The school has also experienced a long-term decline from a 3-star peak in 2017-2018 to a current 2-star rating, coinciding with an increase in students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (now 72.32%). This makes it a compelling choice for families seeking a safe, efficient option that avoids the very low-performing schools in the area, though they should be aware of the larger class sizes and the need for extra support in math and science.
