Summary:

eSACS Virtual School has seen a significant improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 58.8% in 2021-2022 to 70.5% in 2022-2023, though this is still lower than the 93.4% graduation rate at the nearby Homestead High School. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in math, but its performance in English Language Arts is more competitive. Impressively, eSACS Virtual School has a 0.0% chronic absenteeism rate, much lower than the nearby traditional high schools, and a very low student-teacher ratio ranging from 3.9 to 4.3.

Comparing eSACS Virtual School to the high-performing Homestead High School highlights the challenges that virtual schools may face in matching the academic performance of their traditional counterparts. However, eSACS Virtual School has a more diverse student population and serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to its lower test scores. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths, such as low chronic absenteeism and small class sizes, suggest that it is making strides to provide a quality education for its students.

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.
