Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools

Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools is a statewide online school based in Eufaula, AL, serving 6,104 students in grades K-12, making it a massive virtual education provider rather than a traditional neighborhood school.

This virtual academy stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0% in recent years, compared to 3.3% for the Eufaula City district and 12.0% statewide. That suggests students are consistently logging in and engaging with coursework. However, academic proficiency tells a more challenging story. Math scores are critically low across all grades—for example, only 13.07% of 3rd graders and 5.43% of 11th graders were proficient in math in the most recent year, well below state averages. English Language Arts performance is notably stronger, with 8th-grade ELA proficiency at 45.17%, nearly matching the district's 45.89%. Science also shows relative strength, with 8th-grade proficiency at 33.73% compared to just 6.5% in math for the same grade.

Graduation rates have been inconsistent, swinging from 67.4% to 91.4% to 69.1% over recent years, before recovering to 79.1% most recently. The school serves a high-need population, with nearly 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. There are small signs of improvement in math scores in the latest year, which could indicate that recent interventions are starting to take effect. For parents considering this option, the school clearly excels at keeping students engaged and present, but families should be prepared to provide significant support in mathematics. There are no other schools within 20 miles to compare against, as this virtual academy draws students from across the state.
