Onslow Virtual School

Summary:

Onslow Virtual School is a public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Jacksonville, North Carolina, part of the Onslow County Schools district. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with an increase in African American and Hispanic students, and serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Onslow Virtual School consistently underperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 55.6%, compared to 61.8% for the district and 62.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.8% in 4th grade to 33.3% in 8th grade, significantly below the district and state averages. However, the school has seen a significant improvement in its student-teacher ratio, decreasing from 21 students per teacher in 2020-2021 to 12.9 students per teacher in 2022-2023, which may provide more individualized attention and support for students.

The declining academic performance at Onslow Virtual School is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's challenges, and the school may need to explore ways to provide additional support and resources to address the unique needs of this population. While the lower student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, the school's academic performance has not yet shown significant improvement, indicating that other factors, such as curriculum, instructional strategies, and student engagement, may also need to be addressed.

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.
