BUHSD Institute of Online Learning

Summary:

BUHSD Institute of Online Learning is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Buckeye, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 134 students. The school faces several key challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state averages.

BUHSD Institute of Online Learning has had fluctuating 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 61.5% in 2020-2021 to 77.3% in 2021-2022, which are significantly lower than the 90.9% graduation rate at nearby Youngker High School in 2022-2023. The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 7.9% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2020-2021, much higher than the 2.6% dropout rate at Youngker High School. In terms of academic performance, BUHSD Institute of Online Learning students consistently score below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

The virtual nature of BUHSD Institute of Online Learning may be a contributing factor to these challenges, and the school's low performance presents opportunities for the Buckeye Union High School District and school leadership to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes. Strategies could include strengthening the virtual learning environment, providing more personalized support for struggling students, and collaborating with nearby schools to share best practices.

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.
