Rim Virtual Academy

Q: Is Rim Virtual Academy a good school?

Rim Virtual Academy ranks 1727 th of 2777 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rim Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school located in Lake Arrowhead, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 73 students. It is part of the Rim of the World Unified School District, which is ranked 1053 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rim Virtual Academy has seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 22.5% in 2021-2022 to 2.7% in 2022-2023, which is much lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.65% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.13% for the district and 55.73% for the state. Additionally, Rim Virtual Academy has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.58% in 2022-2023, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.4 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and may impact the quality of instruction and personalized attention for students.

When compared to nearby virtual schools, such as Redlands eAcademy, which had a 100% four-year graduation rate in 2021-2022, Rim Virtual Academy's performance is generally lower. However, when compared to other alternative schools in the region, such as Gorman Learning Center and ASA Charter, Rim Virtual Academy's performance is mixed, with lower chronic absenteeism but generally lower test scores. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Rim Virtual Academy suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting student success, and the district may need to explore strategies to address these underlying factors.

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.
