Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy

Summary:

Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Vancouver School District in Washington, with a total enrollment of 712 students for the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic (32.3%) and economically disadvantaged students (70.51% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite serving a unique student population, Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, the school's 2023-2024 ELA proficiency rate of 40.14% lags behind the district's 41.06% and the state's 52.63%. In Math, the school's 14.39% proficiency rate is significantly lower than the district's 30.34% and the state's 41.68%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.4, compared to nearby alternative schools like Vancouver Home Connection (16.6) and Jim Tangeman Center (28).

While Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy serves a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population than nearby alternative schools, it significantly underperforms these schools on academic measures. For instance, Vancouver Home Connection had a 2022-2023 ELA proficiency rate of 51.35% for all grades, compared to 32.08% for Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique challenges faced by its student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
