Youngstown Virtual Academy

Summary:

Youngstown Virtual Academy is a small public virtual high school serving grades 5-12 in the Youngstown City School District in Ohio. With just 65 students enrolled, the school has a predominantly African American (56.72%) and Hispanic (16.42%) student population.

Despite its virtual format, Youngstown Virtual Academy faces significant challenges. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with only 7.1% of students proficient or better in American Government, 9.1% in American History and Biology, and 0% in Geometry. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 84.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a low four-year graduation rate of just 68.0%. These issues are likely exacerbated by the school's high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds.

In comparison, the nearby Choffin Career Center, also part of the Youngstown City School District, has a much smaller student-teacher ratio of 2:1 and significantly better academic performance. The challenges faced by Youngstown Virtual Academy may be indicative of the difficulties students can face in a virtual learning environment, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to support the unique needs of the school's students and ensure their academic success.

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.
