Summary

Astravo Online Academy High School is a large online high school serving 2,750 students in grades 9–12 from Byers, CO, operating under Byers School District No. 32J. It is one of three district-run online high schools sharing an address, alongside Colorado Virtual Academy High School and Colorado Online High School, as well as the district's traditional Byers Junior-Senior High School.

The school faces serious academic challenges. Its graduation rate is just 43.8%, less than half the state average of 85.6% and dramatically lower than nearby traditional schools like Byers Junior-Senior High School (97.6%), Strasburg High School (96.1%), and Bennett High School (91.7%). Test scores also lag, especially in STEM subjects: only 18% of students are proficient in SAT math and 14% in CMAS science, while reading/writing proficiency (43%) is closer to but still below the state mark. Astravo currently ranks in the 19th percentile of Colorado high schools, a decline from the 33rd percentile just two years earlier.

Unusually, low graduation is not accompanied by high dropout or absenteeism. The dropout rate is just 0.9%, below the state average, and chronic absenteeism is 12.6%—better than several local brick-and-mortar schools. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 44.5:1, students have far less direct instructional contact than peers at traditional schools. The sharp contrast with Byers Junior-Senior High School, which sits at the same address yet graduates 97.6% of students, suggests the online model itself—not the district—is the key factor shaping Astravo's outcomes. For parents, this points to a school where students stay connected and enrolled, but many do not finish on time or reach proficiency in math and science.

What people are saying

by a parent

The whole school has one strategy for teaching everyone. One solution available for everyone. The online learning format is a mess. No table of contents, no subject index, no way if finding anything. The assignments don't have titles once you print them, so it's hard to figure out where they belong. Don't ask for any help about online courses. They have nothing to offer. The way each screen is set up, when you go to the bottom of the screen, you can't see the top. When you go to page 2, or, 3 or whatever, you won't remember the learning objectives. If there are similar terns that you want to compete, well good luck finding them. There is no way of connecting the information you have unless you are willing to write down 500 pages. There is no way of doing print screen because the school doesn't want you to do that, and if you go ahead and do that anyway, the information is cut off either on the top, the bottom, or the sides. The feedback from the teachers about the work...one sentence probably computer generated. The quizzes are are not representative of the exams for each module. The questions are so different that it is almost like a different class.

Don't go there. Their ratings are 389 of 411 from the bottom up.
One good thing, the people who answer the phone are good listeners and patient. But they won't help you. They just send you on your way to talk to someone who can do even less to help you.

I regret having used this school for online learning. They used put downs and guilty trips over the phone and I'm an adult. I wonder what they do to kids. They know what happens when they ask for help, so they just give up completely. If you say anything about the learning environment, they have NEVER HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS. Really? That's why they are ranked at the bottom. If you want a bad school, this is the one!!!!

If I could give it minus 10 stars, I would. Close Quote
