2022 • Walmart Shareholders • 23 Haas Hall Academy is again at the top of the list in education. For the 11th straight year, the Fayetteville-based charter high school is ranked No. 1 among public high schools in Arkansas by U.S. News & World Report. The accomplishments don't end there. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Haas Hall as the No. 3 charter school in the nation and the No. 13 public high school in the nation. "It's validation of our accelerated academic programs, outstand - ing highly qualified faculty and engaged scholars," said Dr. Martin W. Schoppmeyer Jr., founder and superintendent of Haas Hall Academy. The school has a 100 percent graduation rate and a 100 percent college acceptance rate, which Schoppmeyer attributes both to the scholars and to the way the school operates. "The scholars who choose to attend know that this school is an accelerated, college-preparatory institution where they will be chal - lenged based on their academic ability, not limited to exposure of material by grade level," Schop- pmeyer said. Haas Hall Academy operates on a semester basis, much like most colleges. Scholars take the stan- dard core courses, but they have options that might not be available in other public high schools, such as engineering and advanced science, mathematics, arts and humanities courses. They can even take college courses off campus. All of this gives our scholars a feel for college life and how they can succeed at the college level. "The transition from high school to college is seamless for Haas Hall Academy graduates," Schop - pmeyer said. Haas Hall Academy serves grades 7 through 12 at four cam- puses in Northwest Arkansas. A fifth campus will open in Fort Smith in the fall of 2023. Enrollment at each campus is based on lottery selection. Applications are accept- ed from early September to early February for the following school year. The Admissions Lottery draw- ing is administered in late February or early March every year. Seats are offered from after the drawing until early August. Waiting List applica- tions are accepted from mid-March through the end of July. "Demand for our accelerated, college-prep curriculum increases daily," Schoppmeyer said. Haas Hall Academy No. 1 again School thriving with four campuses SPONSOR CONTENT
