Summary:
The Virtual Learning Academy of St. Clair County is the sole high school serving grades 6-12 in this virtual charter school district located in Marysville, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 130 students, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation and dropout rates, and serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Academically, the Virtual Learning Academy of St. Clair County lags behind state averages in proficiency on state assessments, particularly in social studies and SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. The school's 4-year graduation rate of just 18.7% is extremely low compared to the state average, while its dropout rate of 33.3% is alarmingly high. Over 70% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The school's resource constraints, as evidenced by a slightly below-average spending per student and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.4, may contribute to the academic and graduation/dropout challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving the virtual learning environment and support systems for students at the Virtual Learning Academy of St. Clair County.
