Elementary Schools in Fl Virtual

The Fl Virtual district contains a single elementary school, Florida Virtual Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 as a statewide, online public school with a large enrollment of 2,145 students.

Florida Virtual Elementary School presents a mixed performance profile. The school is a standout in English Language Arts (ELA), with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates of 69% and 66%, respectively, both notably higher than the state averages of 60% and 61%. However, it struggles significantly in Math, with proficiency rates across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th) falling below state averages—for example, 5th-grade math proficiency is 52% compared to the state's 62%. This "ELA vs. Math" paradox is the school's most defining characteristic. A major positive is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.6%, dramatically lower than the state average of 31.4%, indicating strong student engagement in the virtual setting. The school serves a moderately diverse population, with nearly 40% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and spends $7,299 per student.

Despite its strong ELA performance, the school's overall state ranking has been declining, dropping from the 63rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 47th percentile in 2025-2026. This suggests that while the school has clear strengths, its math weakness and the faster improvement of other schools are causing it to lose ground relative to its peers. The school is ranked 11th out of 70 districts in Florida, earning a 4-star rating. For parents, the key takeaway is that Florida Virtual Elementary School offers a highly engaging virtual environment with excellent reading outcomes, but families should be aware of the significant gap in math achievement that needs attention.
