Greyhounds Online Academy

Q: Is Greyhounds Online Academy a good school?

Greyhounds Online Academy ranks 3418 th of 4675 Texas alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Greyhounds Online Academy is an alternative public virtual school located in San Benito, Texas, serving grades K-9 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 756 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greyhounds Online Academy demonstrates some strengths, outperforming the district and state in several STAAR reading assessments, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, especially in 5th and 6th grades. The school also has low proficiency rates in science and social studies, with 0% of 8th-grade students meeting standards in these subjects. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, lower than the nearby Jubilee Brownsville (18.2) and Jubilee Harlingen schools.

The inconsistent academic performance at Greyhounds Online Academy suggests the school may need to focus on improving its overall academic program and addressing the specific challenges faced by its students. As a virtual school, Greyhounds Online Academy may face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and supporting student learning, which could contribute to the inconsistent outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the school may indicate socioeconomic factors that could impact student success. Compared to the nearby Jubilee Academies charter schools, which generally outperform Greyhounds Online Academy in both reading and mathematics assessments, the virtual school model may not be as effective for the student population served by Greyhounds Online 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.
