Virtual Learning Academy Charter School

The Virtual Learning Academy Charter School district in New Hampshire operates two schools: a high school (Virtual Learning Academy (H)) and an elementary school (Virtual Learning Academy (E)). The high school stands out as a top performer, ranking 6th out of 87 New Hampshire high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With consistently high test scores, a low free/reduced lunch rate, and an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, the high school provides a high-quality virtual education experience for its 442 students.

In contrast, the elementary school does not demonstrate the same level of standout performance, but it still shows some positive metrics. The school's mathematics and reading proficiency rates for 8th-grade students are higher than the state averages, and its overall science proficiency rate is also above the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 42.7 is quite high, which may impact the quality of individual attention for its 171 students.

The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly White, with the high school having 86.43% White students and the elementary school having 79.53% White students. The free/reduced lunch rates also vary, with the high school having a low rate of 7.01% and the elementary school having a higher rate of 17.54%. These differences in student demographics and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the disparities in academic performance between the two schools within the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School district.
