RAM Nation Virtual Academy

Summary:

RAM Nation Virtual Academy is a small alternative public virtual school in Trotwood, Ohio, serving students in grades 5-12. With just 68 students, the school is part of the Trotwood-Madison City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

RAM Nation Virtual Academy stands out from nearby schools like Mad River Local Schools Remote Learning Center and The International School due to its significantly higher percentage of African American students, at 80.88%. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 0.9% in 2021-2022 to 34.9% in 2022-2023. Academically, RAM Nation Virtual Academy's performance on state tests is significantly lower than the Trotwood-Madison City district and the state average, with only 9.1% of students proficient or better in English II, compared to 29.5% in the district and 61.4% statewide.

These findings suggest that RAM Nation Virtual Academy may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school and district will need to closely examine the underlying factors contributing to these issues and implement targeted strategies to address them, with the goal of improving educational outcomes for the students.

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.
