Alamance Virtual School

Summary:

Alamance Virtual School is an alternative public virtual school serving grades 4-12 in the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, with 343 students and a diverse racial makeup.

While Alamance Virtual School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.2 compared to state and district averages, its test scores are significantly lower across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 8th grade math, the school had only 25% proficiency compared to 46.9% statewide. This performance gap is consistent, and the school's test scores have declined over the past 3 years. Nearby Eno River Academy, The Hawbridge School, and River Mill Academy all outperform Alamance Virtual on test scores, often exceeding state averages.

The combination of low test scores, a high free/reduced lunch rate of 52.48% (significantly higher than state and district averages), and the school's alternative designation suggests Alamance Virtual serves a high-needs student population that may require additional resources and support. As a virtual school, Alamance may also face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction compared to traditional brick-and-mortar schools, which could contribute to its lower academic performance.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
