Oxford Virtual Academy

Summary:

Oxford Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Oxford Community Schools district, with a total enrollment of 1,039 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The student population is predominantly White (79.6%), with smaller percentages of African American (6.74%), Hispanic (4.62%), Asian (2.5%), and other racial groups.

While Oxford Virtual Academy has some strengths, such as generally better academic performance in English Language Arts compared to other nearby alternative schools like Oxford Crossroads Day School, Kingsley Montgomery School, and Pontiac Academy for Excellence, the school faces significant challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 46.1% and 78.9% over the past few years, much lower than the 93.3% district average at Pontiac Academy for Excellence. Additionally, Oxford Virtual Academy has experienced very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 94.1% in 2020-2021, compared to 45.5% at Pontiac Academy for Excellence and 52.9% at Kingsley Montgomery School.

The school's test scores on the M-Step and SAT assessments are also generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 13.3% of 11th-grade students at Oxford Virtual Academy proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to 23.9% in the Oxford Community Schools district and 26.3% statewide. These challenges suggest that Oxford Virtual Academy may need to implement targeted interventions and support services to address the unique needs of its virtual learners and improve student outcomes across the board.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Oxford Virtual Academy

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased. SchoolDigger.com is making it easier for you to better assess how COVID-19 has impacted your school. Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
