Brockton Virtual Learning Academy

Summary:

Brockton Virtual Learning Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades 2-12 in Brockton, MA, a district ranked 325 out of 351 in the state and with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a student population of 173, with a diverse racial makeup.

Academically, Brockton Virtual Learning Academy appears to be struggling. The school had a 90.0% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, higher than the Brockton district average of 37.91%, but also a concerning 10.0% dropout rate. Its MCAS proficiency rates are generally lower than the Brockton district and Massachusetts state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 21.57% proficiency in ELA and 12% proficiency in math, compared to 20.81% and 19.51% for Brockton, and 39.17% and 40.91% for the state.

Interestingly, Brockton Virtual Learning Academy's performance is generally lower than the nearby alternative schools, such as MATCH Charter Public School, Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and Melvin H. King South End Academy, which have higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and better test scores. The lack of spending per student data makes it difficult to assess the school's resource allocation and its potential impact on student 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.
