Digital Learning Center

Summary:

Digital Learning Center is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Moses Lake School District in Washington, with 210 students and a student-teacher ratio of 19:1. The school is located 0.14 miles away from the district's main high school, Moses Lake High School.

Digital Learning Center has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (44.29%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have Hispanic student populations ranging from 46.54% to 88.89%. However, the school lags behind the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with only 32.08% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 10.78% proficient in Math. Additionally, Digital Learning Center has a lower 4-year graduation rate (71.1%) and a higher dropout rate (15.4%) compared to Moses Lake High School. The school also serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 70.95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, Digital Learning Center's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students perform better relative to their peers at the school compared to the overall student population. However, the nearby schools, such as Moses Lake High School and Vanguard Academy, have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Digital Learning Center. This suggests that the virtual school may be facing unique challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
