Mohave Valley Connections Academy

Summary:

Mohave Valley Connections Academy is a small, public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Mohave Valley, Arizona, with only 22 students enrolled. This school has seen a shift in its racial makeup over the past two years, with the percentage of White students decreasing and the percentage of Hispanic students increasing.

Mohave Valley Connections Academy faces several challenges compared to nearby traditional public schools. It has significantly lower enrollment, ranging from 107 to 510 students at nearby schools. Academically, the school has struggled, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lagging behind the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 25% of 5th-grade students were proficient in ELA and Science, compared to 42% and 34% at the Mohave Valley Elementary District and state levels, respectively. The school also had a relatively high dropout rate of 7.1% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the typical elementary school dropout rates.

Despite its higher per-student spending of $11,526 in 2021-2022, compared to the nearby traditional public schools, which ranged from $6,577 to $12,278 per student, Mohave Valley Connections Academy's performance suggests that the virtual school model may not be effectively serving the needs of its students. In contrast, the Mohave Accelerated Elementary School and Young Scholars Academy offer higher-performing public school options in the region.

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.
