Virtual Preparatory Academy of Washington

Summary:

Virtual Preparatory Academy of Washington is a public magnet high school serving grades 9-12 in Starbuck, Washington, with a total enrollment of 165 students. The school is part of the Starbuck School District, which is ranked 240 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts and Math were 28.76% and 11.69%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%. The school's performance is particularly low for female and male students, who rank 329 and 351 out of 347 and 362 high schools in the state, respectively. Additionally, the school has a much higher percentage of White and African American students compared to the state average, with lower percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, but the school's White students also perform significantly below the state average.

The school's relatively low spending per student of $11,552 for the 2021-2022 school year, compared to the nearby Prescott High School, Waitsburg High School, and Dayton High School, may be a contributing factor to its poor academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may be underfunded and lacking the resources necessary to provide a high-quality education to its diverse 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.
