Kansas Virtual Academy (KSVA)

Summary:

Kansas Virtual Academy (KSVA) is a public virtual elementary school serving 556 students in grades K-6 in Spring Hill, Kansas, which is part of the Spring Hill School District.

Despite being part of a district ranked 69 out of 266 in the state, KSVA consistently underperforms compared to the state and its local district schools on standardized test scores, with only 29.02% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.92% proficient or better in Mathematics, far below state averages. KSVA has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Kansas elementary schools for the past several years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also shows significant disparities in performance across different student subgroups, ranking highly for special education and disabled students but poorly for white, low-socioeconomic, and female students compared to their peers statewide.

KSVA's low spending of $4,611 per student and high student-teacher ratio ranging from 28.8 to 43.6 may be contributing factors to its consistently low academic performance. The virtual school model may present unique challenges, as KSVA is surrounded by several higher performing Prairie Creek Elementary, Timber Sage Elementary, and Madison Place Elementary schools in the Spring Hill and neighboring districts that significantly outperform KSVA on academic measures.

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.
