Twin Falls Virtual Schoolhouse

Summary:

Twin Falls Virtual Schoolhouse is a small public virtual school serving grades PK-12 in the Twin Falls District in Idaho, with a student population of 96 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's racial makeup has fluctuated in recent years, it is predominantly White students, followed by Hispanic students.

Despite being a virtual school, Twin Falls Virtual Schoolhouse consistently underperforms the Twin Falls District and the state of Idaho in both math and English language arts proficiency on the ISAT assessments. In 2023-2024, only 21% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 36.8% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a significantly higher student-teacher ratio of 384 students per teacher, suggesting the virtual learning environment may present unique challenges. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Murtaugh Schools and Xavier Charter School, Twin Falls Virtual Schoolhouse stands out as an underperforming school, with significantly lower test scores and graduation rates, as well as higher chronic absenteeism and student-teacher ratios. These findings suggest that the virtual learning environment may present unique challenges that the school and district should address to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education.

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.
