Madison County Virtual Academy

Summary:

Madison County Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 5-12 in the Madison County school district in Huntsville, Alabama, with an enrollment of 625 students.

While the school has a diverse student population, it consistently underperforms compared to the Madison County district and the state of Alabama in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Native American students performing relatively well, but White, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, as well as male students, struggling. The school's increasing percentage of students from low-income households, which has risen from 21.09% in 2020-2021 to 50.56% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to these academic challenges.

Compared to nearby traditional high schools, such as Hazel Green High School, Buckhorn High School, and Madison County High School, Madison County Virtual Academy consistently underperforms in academic achievement, with lower proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts. However, the virtual school has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may indicate a potential for more individualized attention for students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
