Lisa Academy North Elementary School consistently performs better than the state average in most subject areas and grade levels.

The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.63% to 64.73% over the past few years, suggesting it serves a population with a higher socioeconomic need compared to the state. Additionally, the school has maintained a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state, ranging from 15.5 to 17.5 students per teacher over the past few years, indicating a potentially more favorable learning environment for students.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Ridge Road Elementary School and William Jefferson Clinton Elementary School, both public schools in the North Little Rock School District and Pulaski County Special School District, respectively, Lisa Academy North Elementary School generally outperforms them in test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide school rank and rating from 3 stars to 2 stars, which is worth further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the decline.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
