Congratulations to Yusuf and Jill! They have been selected as state finalists in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition. They won a tech prize package for Ms. Shaimurat's classroom and have demonstrated incredible STEM-C talents with their student-led project.

LISA Academy is proud to share the results of the Arkansas Department of Education’s simulated school letter grades, which reflect significant academic growth and continued excellence across the public charter school district. These ratings are based on the updated ATLAS accountability measures for the 2023–24 academic year.

Our amazing band students and Mr. C have been busy sharing their musical talents with the community!
They were invited to perform at The Academy of Math & Science- Little Rock, and ParkStone Retirement Center as part of a special grant from the Peter Marsh Foundation, which encourages senior home performances.
