Gwinnett Online Campus

Summary:

Gwinnett Online Campus is a sizable public virtual school serving grades PK-12 in the Gwinnett County school district, with 2,252 students enrolled. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle of the pack among Georgia schools, it has seen steady improvements in its graduation rate in recent years.

Gwinnett Online Campus generally performs below the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics, suggesting that the online learning model may present challenges for some students. However, the school has some bright spots, such as 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts scores that exceed the district and state. Additionally, Gwinnett Online Campus has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to nearby alternative schools, and its per-student spending is in line with the district average.

Compared to other alternative schools in the area, Gwinnett Online Campus is the largest, with the next largest being Georgia Connections Academy (Virtual) at 6,373 students. The other nearby alternative schools, such as Oakland Meadow School and the DeKalb alternative schools, are much smaller in size. While Gwinnett Online Campus has shown progress in its graduation rate, it still lags behind the state and district averages, a common challenge for alternative and virtual schools.

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.
