Northern Arizona Distance Learning

Summary:

Northern Arizona Distance Learning is a small, public virtual high school serving grades 5-12 in the Flagstaff Unified District, with a student population of just 41.

While Northern Arizona Distance Learning outperforms the district and state in some academic areas, such as English Language Arts and Science test scores, the school faces significant challenges. It has a much higher dropout rate (32.5%) compared to nearby Flagstaff High School (2.1%) and Coconino High School (3.2%), and has struggled with extremely low graduation rates, reporting a 0.0% four-year graduation rate in 2017-2018. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is much lower than the traditional high schools in the area.

Interestingly, Northern Arizona Distance Learning has a more diverse student population than the nearby high schools, with a significant Hispanic student representation ranging from 21.47% to 29.27% over the past three years. The school has also shown strong performance in certain student subgroups, such as male students and Hispanic students. When compared to the nearby Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, a charter school, Northern Arizona Distance Learning lags behind in overall academic performance and school rankings, despite its specialized virtual learning model.

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.
