Close knit school so everyone knows each other. Some teachers are some of the best Ive had and some are some of the worst Ive had. Whats good about the school is that not much is going on, pretty chill day to day and you can just do your work and get out. If ur more social this school kinda sucks because there are not much clubs to meet and connect with other people. Counselors are ok, not bad nor good. Admin has always been annoying to teachers because they complain about it alot. Lunches suck, but since we are a poorer school they are free for most so you cant complain too much.

I've been a student of LISA Academy since I started middle school. Its a decently sized school which I like because it allows you to be familiar with almost most of the people and its not too small but not too large either. The teachers have always been very open to help and excelled at teaching the subject. Its a very safe environment with hardly any fights ever happening or anything serious. Its fun with its students and teachers. Its got a variety of clubs and plenty of athletics. Although sometimes the clubs can lack a necessary quantity of members to get them running. Very friendly students as well and overall I think the education of our students there is pretty good on average. I've enjoyed my years here and I've made countless memories and friends here and I'm grateful to have been apart of this school and proud to soon be a LISA Graduate.

I like that there is a lot of room for student autonomy. It really feels like we can take charge and improve our school. I don't like how that aspect isn't being highlighted or promoted. We could be making a much bigger difference than we are, both in our school and in our community.

My son began attending LISA in 6th grade and graduated from LISA Academy High School in 2013. I struggled throughout his elementary years to find the same standard of education I was so lucky to have in the Russellville (AR) School District growing up. Not until we found LISA did I get any relief fr...
