Hillsboro Online Academy

Summary:

Hillsboro Online Academy is a public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Hillsboro School District 1J in Oregon, with 344 students, making it the largest virtual school among the nearby schools analyzed.

Hillsboro Online Academy consistently outperforms the Hillsboro School District 1J and the state of Oregon in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across multiple grade levels, with 63% proficiency in 8th grade ELA compared to 35.5% for the district and 40.6% for the state. In Mathematics, the school also performs better than the district and state in several grade levels, such as 3rd and 4th grade, where it had 50% proficiency compared to around 40% for the district and state. Additionally, Hillsboro Online Academy stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state in Science, particularly in 11th grade (63.6% vs. 25.9% and 32%, respectively) and 8th grade (36.4% vs. 24.1% and 25.9%).

Compared to the nearby virtual schools, Scappoose Online Academy and Tigard-Tualatin Virtual Academy, Hillsboro Online Academy outperforms them in test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, indicating that it may have more effective virtual learning strategies or resources. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated significantly, from 53.5 in 2020-2021 to 16.7 in 2022-2023, which could indicate changes in staffing or enrollment that may have impacted the school's ability to provide personalized attention to students. Additionally, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to fully understand the school's demographics and potential challenges it may face.

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.
