Escambia Virtual Instruction Program

Summary:

Escambia Virtual Instruction Program is a small public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Pensacola, Florida, which is part of the Escambia school district. The school stands out for its relatively high-performing student population, low chronic absenteeism, and strong academic outcomes compared to the surrounding alternative schools in the district.

Escambia Virtual Instruction Program has a majority white student body (56.06%), which contrasts with the more diverse populations at nearby schools like Achieve Academy at McMillian (77.22% African American). The virtual school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0-0.7% over the past 5 years, far below the high rates at alternative schools like Hope Horizon at Judy Andrews Center (55.3%) and Achieve Academy (83.7%). Academically, Escambia Virtual Instruction Program outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts.

The contrasts between Escambia Virtual Instruction Program and the alternative schools in the district highlight potential inequities in resource allocation and the unique challenges faced by certain student populations. While the virtual school appears to be thriving, the alternative schools like Hope Horizon and Achieve Academy struggle with high chronic absenteeism, low graduation rates, and poor academic performance. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of these students within the Escambia school district.

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.
