Caddo Virtual Academy

Q: Is Caddo Virtual Academy a good school?

Caddo Virtual Academy ranks 214 th of 333 Louisiana high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Caddo Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is part of the Caddo Parish school district. The school has seen fluctuations in its student racial makeup, with the percentage of White students ranging from 28% to 54% and the percentage of African American students ranging from 37% to 64%.

Caddo Virtual Academy has faced significant challenges in recent years, including a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, from 60th out of 322 Louisiana high schools in 2020-2021 with a 4-star rating, to 214th out of 333 schools with a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. The school's performance also varies across different student groups, with male students ranking as high as 40th out of 292 Louisiana high schools, while female students and African American students have consistently ranked in the bottom half of the state. Caddo Virtual Academy's test scores are generally lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and U.S. History, though the school has performed better in English I and English II.

Compared to nearby traditional public high schools, such as Caddo Parish Magnet High School, C.E. Byrd High School, and Captain Shreve High School, Caddo Virtual Academy's performance lags behind, with these schools consistently outperforming it on statewide rankings, test scores, and other key metrics. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated significantly, from 14.7 in 2020-2021 to 33.8 in 2021-2022, which may be a contributing factor to its performance. As a virtual school, Caddo Virtual Academy may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better serve its diverse student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
