Scottsdale Online Learning

Summary:

Scottsdale Online Learning is a public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Scottsdale Unified District. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students over the past few years.

Scottsdale Online Learning faces several challenges, including lower graduation rates (ranging from 63.3% to 70.8%) compared to the district average of around 90%, and higher dropout rates (9.1% to 10.8%) compared to the district's 2-3%. Academically, the school performs better in English Language Arts, with 7th-grade students scoring 88% proficient or better, compared to the district's 57% and the state's 42%. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with only 13-20% of students in grades 7-8 scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 47-50% and the state's 27-30%. The school's per-student spending has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from $234 to $11,510 over the past four years.

When compared to other nearby virtual schools, Scottsdale Online Learning performs better in terms of graduation rates and dropout rates. However, compared to traditional schools like Great Hearts Academies - Archway Veritas, the school lags behind in academic performance and student demographics. Interestingly, Scottsdale Online Learning has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby traditional schools, suggesting it may be providing an important educational option for families in the area. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help the school improve its overall outcomes and better serve its students.

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.
