Miami-Dade Online Academy- Virtual Instruction Program

Summary:

Miami-Dade Online Academy- Virtual Instruction Program is a small public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Miami-Dade school district, with a predominantly Hispanic student population.

The school stands out for its consistently high performance, with graduation rates ranging from 90.9% to 100% over the past five years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Miami-Dade Online Academy also has very low chronic absenteeism rates, much lower than the district average. Academically, the school's students consistently outperform their peers on a wide range of standardized tests, including EOC exams, Statewide Science assessments, and FAST exams in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 73% in Algebra 1, 62% in Geometry, 73% in Biology 1, 93% in US History, and 76% in Civics - all significantly higher than the district and state averages. In comparison, nearby schools like Blue Lakes Elementary School and Secondary Student Success Center 801 have much lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

Given the school's strong academic results and low chronic absenteeism, there may be an opportunity to expand the virtual program to serve more students in the Miami-Dade district or even statewide. The school's model and best practices could potentially be leveraged to improve virtual education offerings in the broader region.

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.
