Pickerington Academy

Summary:

Pickerington Academy is a small public virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the Pickerington Local School District. With just 53 students, the school has seen a shift in its racial makeup over the past two years, with the percentage of White students decreasing and the percentage of African American students increasing.

Academically, Pickerington Academy significantly underperforms the Pickerington Local School District and the state of Ohio, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.7% in Geometry to 53.1% in American Government, compared to the district's 46.1% and 74.4% respectively, and the state's 39.8% and 69.1%. However, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.7%, slightly lower than the district's 97.8% and the two traditional high schools' 98.7%. The school has also seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 1.8% to 6.8%, which is significantly lower than the nearby traditional high schools, which have chronic absenteeism rates around 30%.

As a virtual school, Pickerington Academy may face unique challenges in student engagement and academic achievement compared to traditional in-person schools, as evidenced by the wide range in its student-teacher ratio, from 26.5 to 56.5 over the past two years, higher than the nearby traditional high schools, which have ratios around 20. The school's diverse student population and the significant shifts in its racial makeup over the past two years could also be an area of further investigation to understand the factors driving these changes.

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.
