Fallbrook Virtual Academy

Summary:

Fallbrook Homeschool Academy is a small public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Fallbrook, California, with just 54 students enrolled as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school is part of the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 505 out of 1,560 districts in the state, Fallbrook Homeschool Academy faces some unique challenges compared to nearby traditional public schools.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher Hispanic student population (61.11%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 29.89% to 87.42% Hispanic students. Fallbrook Homeschool Academy also has a lower percentage of White students (31.48%) than the nearby schools. Academically, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the district and state averages in the 2022-2023 school year. However, Fallbrook Homeschool Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.4 to 26.1 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Bonsall Unified and Fallbrook Union Elementary schools.

Another notable aspect of Fallbrook Homeschool Academy is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.42% to 78.52% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have rates ranging from 21% to 89.26%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated, from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 10.2% in 2020-2021, with the 2022-2023 rate of 1.7% being lower than the nearby schools, which range from 13.0% to 41.2%. While Fallbrook Homeschool Academy faces challenges, its unique homeschool approach and smaller class sizes may be seen as potential strengths that could help address the school's areas of concern and improve student outcomes.

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.
