Eau Claire Virtual School

Summary:

Eau Claire Virtual School is a small, alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Eau Claire Area School District. With a strong focus on virtual and online learning, the school provides a flexible educational option for students in the Eau Claire area.

Eau Claire Virtual School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 89.4% to 100% over the past three years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also has very low dropout rates, much lower than the district and state, suggesting its virtual learning environment and support systems are effective in keeping students engaged. However, the school has experienced a rise in chronic absenteeism, from 2.7% to 12.4%, which is still lower than the district average but worth monitoring. Academically, Eau Claire Virtual School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state in mathematics and English Language Arts, but the school performs better in social studies, with 75% of 10th-grade students proficient or better.

Compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Northern Wisconsin Center and Second Avenue School, Eau Claire Virtual School's performance metrics are generally better, highlighting the effectiveness of its virtual learning model. However, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests it may serve a different socioeconomic demographic compared to the district and nearby schools, an area worth further investigation.

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.
