Summary:

Germantown Online Academy of Learning is a public virtual alternative school serving grades K-12 in Germantown, Tennessee, which is part of the highly-ranked Germantown school district. With just 60 students, the school has a relatively small student population.

While Germantown Online Academy of Learning performs significantly better than nearby alternative schools like Carver College and Career Academy, Exceptional Children Special Placements, Avon School, and Memphis Virtual School, its overall proficiency rates in subjects like math and English language arts are still well below the Germantown district and state averages. However, the school does excel in certain subjects like Biology I and English II. The school's diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio of 5.2 students per teacher may contribute to its relatively stronger performance compared to nearby alternatives.

The performance of Germantown Online Academy of Learning highlights both the potential and challenges of virtual education. While the school's small size and personalized approach seem to benefit students, the overall academic outcomes suggest that more research and investment may be needed to ensure online learning environments can effectively support student success at the same level as traditional schools.

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.
