Astravo Online Academy

Summary:

Astravo Online Academy is a public charter virtual school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 662 students from kindergarten to 12th grade. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, it faces several key challenges, including declining racial diversity, struggling academic performance, and high dropout rates.

Astravo Online Academy has a higher percentage of Hispanic (38.67%) and Native American (6.5%) students than the surrounding schools, which tend to have a larger proportion of White students. However, the school has seen a decrease in the percentage of non-White students over the past three years. Academically, Astravo Online Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages, and its four-year graduation rate of 28.1% is much lower than the 45% to over 90% rates of nearby schools like Leading Edge Academy at East Mesa, GPS Global Academy, and Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies. Additionally, Astravo Online Academy has consistently high dropout rates, ranging from 12.6% to 35.4%, which are much higher than the generally sub-5% dropout rates of the nearby schools.

The challenges faced by Astravo Online Academy may be indicative of the unique difficulties associated with virtual learning. Comparing the school's practices and strategies to those of the more successful nearby schools, such as LEAD Charter Schools, Gilbert Unified District, and Mesa Unified District, could provide valuable insights to help Astravo Online Academy improve student outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
