Algoma Venture Academy

Summary:

Algoma Venture Academy is a public charter high school located in Algoma, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 41 students. While the school is part of the Algoma School District, which is ranked 405 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, Algoma Venture Academy has shown some strengths that set it apart from the larger district.

Algoma Venture Academy has had a 0.0% dropout rate for the past two school years, which is significantly lower than the state average and the dropout rates of the nearby traditional public high schools like Algoma High. The school has also shown some strengths in test scores, with 50% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to 40.82% in the Algoma School District and 45.65% statewide. Additionally, Algoma Venture Academy had a 0.0% chronic absenteeism rate in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly lower than the 14.5% rate at Algoma High School.

However, despite these strengths, Algoma Venture Academy is ranked 366 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This relatively low ranking may be due to the overall low performance of the Algoma School District, which could be impacting the charter school's perception. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Algoma Venture Academy (43.9%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance and other outcomes. Continued efforts to address these challenges and learn from the successes of nearby high-performing schools like Sturgeon Bay High and Southern Door High could help Algoma Venture Academy improve its outcomes and better serve its students.

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.
