Summary:

Tiger Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, serving grades 4-12 with a total enrollment of 65 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, which is ranked 576 out of 835 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tiger Virtual Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (70.77%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 69.23% to 95.90% African American students. However, the school has a higher four-year graduation rate of 85.3%, which is better than the nearby alternative schools like East Technical High School (52.9%), Collinwood High School (50.0%), and Glenville High School (56.2%). Additionally, Tiger Virtual Academy has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 39.2%, compared to the surrounding alternative schools, which range from 57.5% to 85.7%.

Despite these positive metrics, Tiger Virtual Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District and the state of Ohio across all subject areas. For example, in Algebra I, Tiger Virtual Academy had only 10% proficient or better, compared to 30.8% for the district and 53% for the state. In comparison, the nearby Ohio Connections Academy, a public charter virtual school, has significantly higher test scores and graduation rates. This suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique challenges faced by the students at Tiger Virtual Academy.

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.
