Robertson County Virtual School

Q: Is Robertson County Virtual School a good school?

Robertson County Virtual School ranks 244 th of 392 Tennessee alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Robertson County Virtual School is a small public virtual school serving grades 3-12 in Springfield, Tennessee, with a student population of 73 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial students.

While Robertson County Virtual School outperforms the nearby Robertson County Phoenix Academy, another alternative school in the district, its test scores are generally lower than the Robertson County and Tennessee state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (23.1%), English Language Arts (35.7%), and US History (16.7%) are significantly below the county and state averages. The school's spending per student has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from $2,255 in 2020-2021 to $140,897 in 2019-2020, which may impact its ability to provide consistent resources and support for its students. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has varied, from 21.5 in 2020-2021 to 73 in the current school year, which could present challenges in providing personalized attention and support.

In contrast, the Merrol Hyde Magnet School, a public alternative school in the neighboring Sumner County district, stands out as a high-performing school with significantly higher test scores than Robertson County Virtual School, the Robertson County district, and the state of Tennessee. This highlights the potential for alternative schools to achieve strong academic outcomes when provided with the necessary resources and support, which Robertson County Virtual School may be lacking.

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.
