Jacket Virtual Academy

Summary:

Jacket Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school in Sidney, Ohio, serving grades 3-12 with a total enrollment of 132 students. The school is part of the Sidney City School District, which is ranked 558 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jacket Virtual Academy faces several academic challenges, with consistently lower test scores than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Science, the school scored 30% proficient or better, compared to 68.3% for the Sidney City district and 62.1% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 78.0% is also lower than the state average and the nearby Wapakoneta High School, which has a 96.0% graduation rate.

However, Jacket Virtual Academy has a unique characteristic in its extremely low chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0%, which is significantly lower than the 27.1% rate at Wapakoneta High School. This suggests that the virtual learning model may help mitigate some of the attendance challenges faced by traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Overall, the school's performance and demographic differences compared to nearby schools indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its 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.
