Summary

Lisa Academy North High School is a public charter high school in North Little Rock, AR, serving 292 students in grades 9 through 12 within the high-performing Lisa Academy district.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Reading, where 59.8% and 63.8% of students are proficient, respectively—far exceeding the state average of about 40%. This literacy strength places it well ahead of nearby schools like Central High School and North Little Rock High School, which have proficiency rates roughly half that. The school also boasts a very low dropout rate (under 1.6%) and a strong graduation rate (90.7%), all while spending efficiently at $10,464 per student—significantly less than many lower-performing peers. However, a notable challenge is math: only 15.2% of students are proficient in Algebra, which is less than half the state average. This suggests a need for targeted support in that subject.

With a small enrollment and an 11:1 student-to-teacher ratio, Lisa Academy North offers a more intimate learning environment than larger area high schools. It even outperforms the specialized North Little Rock Center Of Excellence in ELA by 13 percentage points. For families seeking a school with a strong focus on reading and writing, a supportive community, and a track record of consistent excellence, Lisa Academy North is a top choice in the region.
