This highlights the potential challenges faced by virtual schools in providing a high-quality education and supporting student engagement and success. Additionally, the schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that socioeconomic status may be a significant factor in academic performance.
