iHigh Virtual Academy

Summary:

iHigh Virtual Academy is a relatively large virtual public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the San Diego Unified School District, with 647 students. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 2493 out of 5862 California elementary schools, it faces several challenges that parents should be aware of.

One of the most significant issues is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 39.1% in 2017-2018 to 79.5% in 2022-2023 - much higher than the district and state averages. The school's graduation and dropout rates have also fluctuated, with the four-year graduation rate ranging from 80.4% to 94.6% and the dropout rate between 2.7% and 8.0% over the past five years. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, and its proficiency rates are generally lower than the San Diego Unified School District and the state of California, particularly in mathematics and science.

However, the school's proximity to several high-performing elementary schools, such as Loma Portal Elementary, Grant K-8, and Longfellow K-8, presents opportunities for collaboration and learning. These nearby schools consistently outperform iHigh Virtual Academy on standardized tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the virtual learning environment may present unique challenges for student engagement and success that the school could address by implementing more robust support systems and interventions.

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.
