Coolidge Virtual Academy

Summary:

Coolidge Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Coolidge, Arizona, which is part of the Coolidge Unified District. With a student population of 154, the school has struggled to keep students engaged and on track to graduate, with a 4-year graduation rate of just 52.0% and a dropout rate of 26.5% - significantly worse than nearby traditional high schools like Coolidge High School (89.2% graduation rate) and San Tan Foothills High School (88.7% graduation rate).

Coolidge Virtual Academy students also perform poorly on state assessments, with only 8% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 13% in the district and 40% statewide. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (52.6%) and Native American (16.23%) students than nearby traditional high schools, suggesting the virtual format may be more appealing to certain demographic groups. Interestingly, the Coolidge Alternative Program, which is also part of the Coolidge Unified District, has slightly better performance metrics than Coolidge Virtual Academy, indicating the alternative program format may be more effective for this student population.

While the virtual format may allow for cost savings, with the nearby Coolidge Alternative Program spending $7,194 per student compared to $8,754 per student at Coolidge High School, the tradeoff appears to be poorer academic outcomes. Without reported student-teacher ratios for Coolidge Virtual Academy, it's unclear if the virtual format allows for more favorable ratios, but the school's overall performance suggests the virtual model may not be the best fit for the students in this district.

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.
