GOAL Digital Academy

Summary:

GOAL Digital Academy is an alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12 in Mansfield, Ohio, with a student population of 772. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with 83.42% White, 5.18% African American, 5.83% Hispanic, and 5.44% two or more races.

While GOAL Digital Academy offers a virtual learning option, the school has struggled with relatively low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 40.6% to 47.8% over the past five years, significantly lower than the state average of around 85%. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.5% to 36.7% over the past five years, much higher than the state average of around 15%. Academically, GOAL Digital Academy's performance, as measured by Ohio State Test scores, is significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 37.5% in English Language Arts and 0% to 28.3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 49.4% to 70.6% and 46.3% to 57.4%, respectively.

The only nearby school included in the data is Crestline Bulldog Academy, another alternative public virtual school with an even smaller student population of 07 and a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 90% in 2021-2022. While the data for Crestline Bulldog Academy is limited, the challenges faced by GOAL Digital Academy suggest that the virtual and alternative nature of these schools may contribute to the difficulties in supporting and engaging their student populations. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these issues could help GOAL Digital Academy and similar schools better serve their students and align with state-level 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.

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.

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.
