EFA and Conway Christian School
290 of the roughly 580 students at Conway Christian School used an EFA in 2024-25 (50%), according to the state's annual report.
That ranks #1 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, 94% continued in the program the next school year and 90% stayed at Conway Christian School. Statewide, schools kept 84% of their EFA students on average. Students who graduated count as leaving.
On the nationally norm-referenced tests participating schools must give, Conway Christian School's EFA students averaged the 60th percentile in math and the 62th in reading, above the national median of 50. Statewide, EFA students averaged the 57th and 59th.
Families paid $947,001 to Conway Christian School 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 564 students, 51 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 11.0:1.
From kindergarten through grade 12, that's 13 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $93,704 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number. Pre-K years are not covered; the account starts at kindergarten.
Paying the balance
Church schools often offer member, sibling and staff discounts. Ask whether they still apply when part of the bill is paid from an EFA, and which fees (books, uniforms, technology) the school invoices through ClassWallet.

Questions to ask the school
- How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
- 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?
- Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
- Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
- Which concurrent-credit courses do you offer, and can those fees come from the account?
- Do you have openings in pre-K, and does a pre-K seat carry into kindergarten, when the account starts?
