Henry County Virtual Academy

Summary:

Henry County Virtual Academy is a small, alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Henry, Tennessee, a district ranked 49th out of 139 in the state with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With just 62 students enrolled, the school has some unique characteristics compared to nearby traditional public schools like Big Sandy School and E.W. Grove School.

One notable difference is the school's racial makeup, with 85.48% white students, significantly higher than the more diverse student populations at nearby schools. However, Henry County Virtual Academy's test scores are generally lower than the Henry County and Tennessee state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10% of students were proficient or better in English I, compared to 39.5% in Henry County and 35.4% statewide. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at $5,609 in 2020-2021, is lower than the $9,326 and $11,583 spent per student at E.W. Grove School and Big Sandy School, respectively.

Despite its efficient use of resources, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 2.8 in 2022-2023, the data suggests Henry County Virtual Academy faces challenges in providing a high-quality education. The consistently lower test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, as well as the potential equity concerns raised by the school's racial makeup, indicate that the virtual format may be creating barriers for certain demographic groups. Further investigation into the school's practices and support systems could provide valuable insights to help improve outcomes for students at Henry County Virtual Academy.

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.
