Summary:

EVSC Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Evansville, Indiana, with a total enrollment of 238 students for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance data suggests it is struggling in several key areas compared to nearby traditional schools.

EVSC Virtual Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (67.23%) compared to Benjamin Bosse High School (32.89%) and Academy for Innovative Studies (41.67%). However, the virtual school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 47.1%, which is significantly lower than the 87.5% graduation rate at Benjamin Bosse High School. Additionally, EVSC Virtual Academy has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 76.3%, more than double the rate at Benjamin Bosse High School (35.3%) and the 49.6% rate at Academy for Innovative Studies.

Academically, EVSC Virtual Academy students perform significantly worse on standardized tests compared to the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.93% of EVSC Virtual Academy students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 37.25% for the district. The school also struggles with math proficiency, with only 15.09% of students meeting or exceeding standards, compared to 37.06% for the district. These academic challenges, combined with the high chronic absenteeism rate, suggest that EVSC Virtual Academy may be struggling to support student learning and engagement.

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.
