Sonoran Virtual Academy

Summary:

Sonoran Virtual Academy is a public charter virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tucson, Arizona, with a small student population of 68 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with a mix of racial backgrounds including White, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and two or more races.

Sonoran Virtual Academy has a mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school performs well in some grade levels and subjects, such as 8th grade English Language Arts where it outperformed the district and state, it struggles in others, particularly in 8th grade mathematics where its proficiency rate was significantly lower than the district and state. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students and Hispanic students outperforming their peers. However, the school's dropout rate of 2.4% in 2021-2022 was higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby traditional public schools like J. Robert Hendricks Elementary School and Robert Richardson Elementary School, which both ranked higher in the state and had better proficiency rates, Sonoran Virtual Academy's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school outperformed the nearby public charter school, Academy Del Sol, which had lower proficiency rates and a much higher dropout rate. As a virtual school, Sonoran Virtual Academy may face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and supporting student engagement, which could contribute to its mixed academic performance.

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.
