Summary

Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise is a large public virtual school serving grades KG-12 in the Miami-Dade school district, with 668 students enrolled. While the school has consistently high 4-year graduation rates ranging from 88-92%, it struggles with very high chronic absenteeism rates of 17-31% and significantly lags behind district and state averages on standardized test scores.

Compared to nearby virtual schools like Miami-Dade Online Academy and Mater Academy Virtual Charter School, Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise underperforms on many key metrics. Its proficiency rates on EOC exams, Statewide Science, and FAST ELA and Math are often 20-40 percentage points lower than the surrounding district and state. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has increased from $7,063 in 2021-2022 to $11,270 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average, but this high spending does not appear to be translating into strong academic performance.

One interesting trend is the dramatic decline in free/reduced lunch recipients at the school, from 75.6% in 2021-2022 to just 3% in 2023-2024, which is much lower than the district average. This could indicate changes in the school's demographics or enrollment patterns that warrant further investigation. Overall, Miami-Dade Virtual High School Franchise faces challenges in improving its academic outcomes, despite its high graduation rates and increased per-student spending.
