EFA and Shiloh Christian School
The state's 2024-25 EFA report lists Shiloh Christian School as a participating school with 488 EFA students, 32% of its enrollment of about 1,520.
That ranks #1 of 21 participating schools in Benton and Washington counties by number of EFA students. Its EFA share is below the local average of 47% across those schools.
Of those EFA students, 95% continued in the program the next school year and 94% stayed at Shiloh 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, Shiloh Christian School's EFA students averaged the 59th percentile in math and the 61th in reading, above the national median of 50. Statewide, EFA students averaged the 57th and 59th.
Families paid $1,591,412 to Shiloh 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 (2021-22), the school reported 1,013 students, 90 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 11.3:1.
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.
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?
