Collierville Virtual Academy

Q: Is Collierville Virtual Academy a good school?

Collierville Virtual Academy ranks 160 th of 392 Tennessee alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Collierville Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades 3-12 in Collierville, Tennessee, which is part of the highly-ranked Collierville School District. The school has seen a shift in its diverse student population, going from a majority Asian student body in 2021-2022 to a more balanced mix of White, African American, Asian, and other races in 2022-2023.

While Collierville Virtual Academy's test scores on the TNReady assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and U.S. History, the school performs better in English Language Arts and Science, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state proficiency rates. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased significantly, from 12.1 in 2021-2022 to 20.3 in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the nearby Germantown Online Academy of Learning, which has a ratio of 5.2. Additionally, Collierville Virtual Academy does not provide data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, making it difficult to compare the school's performance to nearby alternative schools that do report this information.

Compared to other virtual schools in the area, Collierville Virtual Academy's test scores are generally higher than those of Memphis Virtual School, but the nearby Germantown Online Academy of Learning outperforms Collierville Virtual Academy on most test metrics. The inconsistent performance across grade levels at Collierville Virtual Academy suggests the need for a more targeted approach to addressing the unique learning needs of students at different grade levels, and the absence of socioeconomic data makes it difficult to fully understand the school's performance in the context of its student population.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Collierville Virtual Academy

2022	266	21.8	12.1	n/a

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
