Florida Cyber Charter Academy

Summary:

Florida Cyber Charter Academy is a public charter virtual school located in Jacksonville, Florida, serving grades K-12 with an enrollment of 1,018 students. The school is part of the Duval school district, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Florida Cyber Charter Academy faces significant challenges, including low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and fluctuating graduation rates, which are often lower than the state and district averages. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.86% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these challenges. Comparisons to nearby schools, such as Cornerstone Classical Academy, which outperforms Florida Cyber Charter Academy across various academic metrics, and Hospital and Homebound, which struggles with even lower test scores and graduation rates, highlight the importance of the school district's overall performance and the challenges faced by virtual charter schools.

When comparing Florida Cyber Charter Academy to other Florida Cyber Charter Academies, such as Florida Cyber Charter Academy at Clay, located in the higher-performing Clay school district, which has higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores, and Florida Cyber Charter Academy at Osceola, located in the lower-performing Osceola school district, which has similar challenges to the Jacksonville-based Florida Cyber Charter Academy, the importance of the school district's overall performance becomes even more apparent.

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.
