Denton K-8 Virtual Academy

Summary:

Denton K-8 Virtual Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Denton Independent School District (ISD) in Denton, Texas, with 121 students from diverse backgrounds.

Denton K-8 Virtual Academy stands out for its exceptional academic performance, significantly outperforming the Denton ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR reading and math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school had 75% proficiency compared to 51% for Denton ISD and 50% for Texas. The school's male students and White students perform particularly well, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for their respective subgroups. Additionally, Denton K-8 Virtual Academy has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.1, compared to the nearby physical elementary schools, which range from 10.5 to 19.5 students per teacher. However, the school has a significantly lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (34.71%) compared to the nearby physical elementary schools, which range from 45.65% to 89.32%, raising questions about equity and access to virtual education.

The strong academic performance of Denton K-8 Virtual Academy, particularly in reading and math, suggests that the virtual learning model can be effective in delivering high-quality education. In contrast, the nearby physical elementary schools in the Denton ISD generally perform below the state averages in reading and math proficiency, with several schools ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The low student-teacher ratio and specialized focus of a virtual school may be contributing factors to Denton K-8 Virtual Academy's success, but further investigation into the school's instructional practices and support systems could provide valuable insights.

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.
