Maryville Virtual School

Q: Is Maryville Virtual School a good school?

Maryville Virtual School ranks 252 nd of 587 Tennessee alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Maryville Virtual School is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Maryville, Tennessee, which is part of the highly-ranked Maryville school district. With a small student population of just 52 students, the school has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 3.6 compared to the nearby Maryville Junior High School, which has a ratio of 15.3.

However, Maryville Virtual School consistently underperforms the Maryville district and the state of Tennessee in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had only 24.1% proficiency in Math, compared to 67.6% for the Maryville district and 39.7% for Tennessee. Similarly, the school had 36.7% proficiency in ELA, compared to 62.4% for Maryville and 37.6% for the state. This suggests that the virtual learning model may not be as effective as traditional in-person instruction for this school.

Additionally, the racial makeup of Maryville Virtual School is predominantly White (84.62%), which is slightly different from the more diverse student body at the nearby Maryville Junior High School. This raises questions about equity and access to virtual learning opportunities for students of color. Interestingly, the challenges faced by Maryville Virtual School appear to be common among other virtual schools in the region, such as the iLearn Institute at Lenoir City Schools, which also struggles with lower test scores compared to its district and the state.

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.
