PCS Virtual Academy

Summary:

PCS Virtual Academy is a small public virtual school in Roxboro, North Carolina, serving grades PK-12 with a student population of 72 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Person County Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 242 districts in the state.

PCS Virtual Academy has shown strong academic performance in several areas compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had higher proficiency rates in 7th-grade reading, Math III End-of-Course, and Math I End-of-Course. Additionally, the school has seen a significant decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 52.99% in 2021-2022 to only 4.17% in 2022-2023. The student-teacher ratio has also improved, decreasing from 16.7 in 2021-2022 to 7.2 in 2022-2023.

While the school has shown promising results, there are some areas of concern. The school's proficiency rates in 4th-grade mathematics and 8th-grade reading have been lower than the district and state averages, indicating a need to closely monitor and address any inconsistencies in student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school has seen a slight increase in the percentage of White students and a decrease in the percentage of African American students over the past two years, which may suggest a need to further examine the factors contributing to this shift in racial representation.

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.
