Summary

Lisa Academy Fayetteville is a public charter elementary school in Fayetteville, AR, serving 377 students in grades K-5 and has earned a 5-star rating, placing it among the top 5% of elementary schools in Arkansas. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, significantly outperforming both its Lisa Academy district and the state average in every subject, with proficiency rates of 63% in English Language Arts, 66.1% in Math, and 65.5% in Science. When compared to nearby schools, Lisa Academy Fayetteville dramatically outperforms Asbell Elementary (26.3% ELA), George Elementary (23.8% ELA), and Walker Elementary (37.1% ELA), while competing directly with top-tier schools like Root Elementary and Vandergriff Elementary.

What makes Lisa Academy Fayetteville particularly impressive is its remarkable "value-add" performance relative to its student demographics. With a Free/Reduced Lunch rate of 41.91%, the school achieves academic results that rival or exceed schools with much lower poverty rates. For instance, Holcomb Elementary has a lower poverty rate (30.51%) but achieves similar ELA scores (65% vs. Lisa's 63%), while Leverett Elementary has a higher poverty rate (55.88%) but scores lower in both ELA (45.3%) and Math (50%). This suggests the school is highly effective at closing the achievement gap and serving a diverse, middle-income community.

The school also demonstrates strong and consistent year-over-year growth, with proficiency rates rising across all core subjects over the last three years, including a jump from 49.4% to 66.1% in Math. This upward trend is not mirrored by all neighbors—for example, Butterfield Elementary saw a decline in ELA from 53.2% to 47% over the same period. While Lisa Academy Fayetteville shows a slight dip in 5th-grade scores compared to 3rd and 4th grades—a common "5th grade slump"—its overall performance remains strong, making it a standout choice for families seeking a high-quality, efficient, and academically rigorous option in the Fayetteville area.
