Henrico Virtual Academy

Summary:

Henrico Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Henrico County Public Schools district, with a total enrollment of 795 students for the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with 63.27% African American, 19.62% White, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11:1, Henrico Virtual Academy struggles academically. The school has significantly lower proficiency rates on state tests compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics where only 31.03% of students were proficient, compared to 65.93% for the district and 70.11% for Virginia. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, though the exact free/reduced lunch rate is not reported. Interestingly, the school's performance varies widely across grade levels, with 10th graders in Algebra I scoring much higher than 9th graders, suggesting inconsistencies in the curriculum and instruction.

When compared to the nearby Amelia Street Special Education school in the Richmond City Public Schools district, Henrico Virtual Academy appears to be performing better, though both schools face significant challenges in serving high-need student populations. Amelia Street has even lower test scores and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, highlighting the difficulties faced by schools serving these communities.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
