Coulee Region Virtual Academy

Summary:

Coulee Region Virtual Academy is a small public charter virtual school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving grades K-12 with a student population of 86. The school is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 256 out of 424 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coulee Region Virtual Academy has seen some notable successes, with a high four-year graduation rate of 93.3% in 2022-2023, significantly outperforming the district's rate. However, the school also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2% and a concerning 8.7% dropout rate. Academically, the school's 8th-grade students excelled in English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science, but struggled in Mathematics, with 0% proficiency compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance in lower grades was mixed, with some grades outperforming the district and state, while others underperformed.

One interesting finding is the significant decrease in the school's free and reduced lunch rate, from 58.47% in 2021-2022 to 24.42% in 2022-2023, which may indicate changes in the school's student population or the local community's economic conditions. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2022-2023 could be a contributing factor to its academic successes and may be 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.
