Spokane Virtual Academy

Summary:

Spokane Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades PK-12 in the Spokane School District, with 327 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student population is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

While Spokane Virtual Academy provides an online learning option, the school's performance lags behind both the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.5% of Spokane Virtual Academy students were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to 48.46% for the Spokane School District and 52.63% for Washington state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.03%) and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 28.4, suggesting challenges in providing individualized attention. When compared to nearby schools, such as Bryant Center, HomeWorks, and EV Parent Partnership, Spokane Virtual Academy consistently underperforms on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

While Spokane Virtual Academy's spending per student ($10,540 in 2021-2022) is lower than some nearby schools, such as Bryant Center ($15,924) and Spokane International Academy ($16,599), the school's challenges may also be related to its high proportion of economically disadvantaged students and potentially larger class sizes. Further investigation into the school's practices and support systems could help identify areas for improvement to better serve its students.

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.
