Vilonia Pathways Academy

Summary:

Vilonia Pathways Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Vilonia, Arkansas, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 145 students. The school is part of the Vilonia School District, which is ranked 27th out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Vilonia Pathways Academy's performance is generally lower than the Vilonia School District and the state of Arkansas averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.7%) and Mathematics (22.7%) are significantly lower than the district (48.5% and 51.8%, respectively) and state (33.8% and 36.4%, respectively) averages. However, the school's 8th-grade performance in English Language Arts (78.5%) and Reading (78.5%) is notably higher than the comparisons. The school also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (35.86%) compared to the district and state, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the overall lower academic performance, Vilonia Pathways Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which could be a potential advantage for the school. Additionally, the school's focus on alternative education may contribute to its unique approach and the challenges it faces. While the school has room for improvement, particularly in Geometry and other core subject areas, its strengths in specific grade levels and its commitment to serving a diverse student population are noteworthy.

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.
