Washington Unified Virtual Academy

Summary:

Washington Unified Virtual Academy is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in West Sacramento, California, with an enrollment of 83 students. The school is part of the Washington Unified School District, which is ranked 1023 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's small student-teacher ratio of 8.7 students per teacher is lower than nearby schools, Washington Unified Virtual Academy significantly underperforms compared to traditional public schools and charter schools in the area. The school has a concerning 27.6% chronic absenteeism rate, much higher than the 16.9% at Stonegate Elementary, 26.6% at Southport Elementary, and 24.7% at Elkhorn Village Elementary. Additionally, only 35.82% of Washington Unified Virtual Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 41.7% for the district and 47.04% statewide, and just 20.9% were proficient or better in math, compared to 27.3% for the district and 35.54% statewide.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests the virtual school model may not be effectively serving the needs of this student population. This raises concerns about equity and access to quality education, and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Washington Unified Virtual Academy.

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.
