However, the school's Math proficiency lags behind the state average, with 48-56% proficiency compared to the state's 56-60%. The school also has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White (39%) and Asian (4%) students compared to nearby traditional public schools like Ivey Lane Elementary and Eccleston Elementary, which have a much higher percentage of African American students (over 80%).

Additionally, Florida Virtual Elementary School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (9.9-13%) compared to the nearby traditional public schools, which range from 29.8% to 41.8%. The school's spending per student has also increased from $5,643 in 2021-2022 to $7,299 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio has decreased from 32.3 in 2020-2021 to 20.8 in 2022-2023, indicating a more favorable learning environment. These findings suggest that the virtual learning model can be effective in delivering quality education, but also raise questions about the accessibility and equity of the virtual school model.

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.
