Summary

Agee Lierly Life Preparation Services School is a small alternative high school in Fayetteville, AR, serving 250 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked Fayetteville School District.

This school has a unique profile that sets it apart from nearby schools. While its standardized test scores are extremely low—with 0% proficiency in English Language Arts, Algebra, and Biology—it achieves a remarkable 91.3% graduation rate, nearly matching the 93.2% rate at Fayetteville High School just a mile away. This suggests the school's primary mission is helping students earn a diploma through credit recovery and personalized support, rather than focusing on college-preparatory academics. The school's name, "Life Preparation Services," reflects this mission perfectly. With a student-to-teacher ratio of just 6:1—far lower than Fayetteville High's 11.2:1—students receive intensive, individualized attention. However, the school also has a higher dropout rate (6.0%) compared to nearby traditional high schools, indicating that some students still face significant challenges.

Agee Lierly serves a high-poverty student body, with 63.2% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, compared to 35.6% at Fayetteville High. Despite this, the school operates on a leaner budget of $10,521 per student, less than Fayetteville High's $14,846. This school is a vital safety net within the Fayetteville School District, offering a different path to graduation for students who have struggled in traditional settings. It is not designed to compete academically with schools like Haas Hall Academy, but rather to ensure that at-risk students have the support they need to complete their high school education and prepare for life after graduation.
