Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise

Summary:

Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise is an alternative public virtual school serving grades KG-12 in the Miami-Dade school district, with an enrollment of 1,111 students.

While the school has seen an increase in its four-year graduation rate, from 70.8% in 2021-2022 to 82.3% in 2022-2023, it still falls below the district and state averages. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the 24.9% rate at the nearby Blue Lakes Elementary School. Academically, Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise generally underperforms the district and state averages across a range of subject areas and grade levels, such as scoring 34% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC compared to 61% for the district and 55% for the state.

The school has a majority Hispanic student population (71.74% in 2022-2023), which is higher than the district and state averages, and a lower percentage of White students (5.13%) compared to nearby schools. Interestingly, the school has seen a significant decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 75.59% in 2021-2022 to 17.46% in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as the I Preparatory Academy, which has significantly higher test scores and a 100% four-year graduation rate, Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise faces unique challenges as a virtual school, including higher chronic absenteeism rates that may contribute to its lower academic performance.

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.
