Nampa Online Virtual Academy

Summary:

Nampa Online Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades PK-12 in the Nampa School District in Idaho, with a fluctuating student racial makeup and significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement.

Nampa Online Virtual Academy has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 33.3% to 62.9% over the past 3 years, and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2020-2021 to 20.0% in 2021-2022. Academically, the school significantly underperforms compared to the Nampa School District and the state of Idaho, with only 8.8% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math in 2023-2024, compared to 27.2% for the Nampa School District and 42.2% for the state. In contrast, nearby charter schools like Vision Charter School and Liberty Charter School have much higher graduation rates and academic proficiency.

The high chronic absenteeism and low graduation rates at Nampa Online Virtual Academy may suggest that the virtual learning model poses unique challenges for students, which could be contributing to their underperformance. Additionally, the fluctuating racial makeup of the student population, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students, may indicate changing demographics in the local community that the school needs to address. Overall, Nampa Online Virtual Academy faces significant challenges that the Nampa School District should consider addressing through targeted interventions and support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
