Learning differences

Compass Academy

Learning differences school in Conway, grades 1-12. On the state's 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.

105 of the roughly 140 students at Compass Academy used an EFA in 2024-25 (75%), according to the state's annual report.

That ranks #3 of 5 participating schools in Faulkner County by number of EFA students. Its EFA share is above the local average of 44% across those schools.

Of those EFA students, 87% continued in the program the next school year and 80% stayed at Compass Academy. Statewide, schools kept 84% of their EFA students on average. Students who graduated count as leaving.

Participating schools give a nationally norm-referenced test each year. Compass Academy serves students with learning differences, so its percentiles (24 math, 11 reading) reflect who it serves and aren't a fair comparison with general-enrollment schools.

Families paid $368,008 to Compass Academy from EFA accounts in the spring 2024-25 transactions the report covers. Fall transactions aren't broken out by provider.

In the federal Private School Survey (2023-24), the school reported 125 students, 15 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 8.0:1.

From grade 1 through grade 12, that's 12 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $86,496 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number.

Paying the balance

Former Succeed Scholarship students receive the higher 2026-27 amount of $8,011. Ask whether the school bills therapies separately, and whether those can be paid from the account.

Questions to ask the school

  1. Which diagnoses and support levels do you serve, and do you have openings for my child's grade?
  2. How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
  3. 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?
  4. Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
  5. Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
  6. Which concurrent-credit courses do you offer, and can those fees come from the account?
