Kent Virtual Academy

Summary:

Kent Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Kent School District in Kent, Washington, with 184 students. The school has a diverse student population, but its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Kent Virtual Academy ranked 405 out of 442 Washington high schools in the 2022-2023 school year, with a 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating, placing it in the bottom 10% of high schools in the state. The school's performance for female students is also below average, with a ranking of 315 out of 357 Washington high schools and a 1 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.85% in the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26.3.

In comparison, the nearby traditional high schools, such as Kentridge High School, Kentwood High School, and Kent-Meridian High School, generally outperform Kent Virtual Academy in academic measures, graduation rates, and school rankings. Another virtual high school in the Kent School District, the Individualized Graduation & Degree Program, also struggles academically, suggesting that the virtual school model may present unique challenges that contribute to the lower academic performance of these schools.

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.
