Tennessee Online Public School

Summary:

Tennessee Online Public School is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Bristol, Tennessee, which is part of the Bristol District, ranked 17th out of 139 districts in the state with a 4-star rating.

Despite a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, from #6 in 2020-2021 to #44 in 2023-2024, Tennessee Online Public School continues to outperform the Bristol and Tennessee state averages in several subject areas, including English Language Arts (50.8% proficient or better), Biology I (61.4% proficient or better), and English II (66.7% proficient or better). The school has a higher percentage of minority students compared to the surrounding schools, such as Dobyns-Bennett High School and Tennessee High School, which tend to be predominantly White. However, as a virtual school, Tennessee Online Public School may be able to offer a more personalized and flexible learning experience for its students, contributing to its strong academic performance.

While the nearby physical schools have larger student populations and higher spending per student, they do not consistently outperform Tennessee Online Public School in test scores and other metrics. This suggests that the virtual learning model employed by Tennessee Online Public School is providing a quality education to its students, despite the school's decline in statewide ranking. Overall, Tennessee Online Public School appears to be a high-performing virtual school that is worth considering for families in the Bristol area.

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.
