EBR Virtual Academy

Summary:

EBR Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades PK-12 in the East Baton Rouge Parish district, with 466 students predominantly from African American (83.05%) and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While EBR Virtual Academy provides an online learning option, it faces significant challenges in supporting its student population. The school has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, with a 2023-2024 math proficiency rate of 37% versus 48% for the district and 59% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 75.97%, much higher than the surrounding area. The student-teacher ratio at EBR Virtual Academy has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 21:1 to 46.8:1, which may impact the level of individualized attention students receive.

When comparing EBR Virtual Academy to other alternative schools in the area, such as IDEA Innovation, EBR Readiness Superintendent Academy, and Southern University Lab School, the virtual academy generally underperforms on test scores across all subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the racial composition of EBR Virtual Academy has shifted significantly, with the percentage of African American students increasing from 59.26% to 83.05% in recent years, while the percentage of White students decreased from 37.04% to 9.01%. This change in the student population may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance, which has shown inconsistent trends across grade levels and subject areas.

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.
