Summary

Duval Virtual Instruction Academy (DVIA) is a K-12 public virtual school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 738 students as part of the Duval district, which ranks in the bottom third of Florida districts. The school offers a flexible online learning environment and serves a relatively low-income population, with about 34% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

DVIA presents a mixed academic picture. On one hand, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are often competitive with the district average—for example, 7th graders scored 59% proficient compared to the district's 54%. However, math proficiency is a major concern, with 6th graders achieving only 3% proficiency versus the district's 49% and the state's 60%. This stark contrast is the school's most defining academic metric. The school also has an extremely high student-to-teacher ratio of 29.5:1, the highest among nearby alternative schools, which likely limits individualized support. Its graduation rate has been volatile, dropping from 94.3% in 2020-2021 to 60.8% in 2022-2023 before recovering to 70.7%—well below the district (94.3%) and state (92.2%) averages. Chronic absenteeism is a moderate concern at 32.6%, better than the district average but higher than the Florida Cyber Charter Academy (FCCA), another virtual school in the area, which has a much lower rate of 10.7%.

Compared to FCCA, DVIA lags in nearly every metric, including graduation rate (70.7% vs. 84.1%), chronic absenteeism, and math proficiency. FCCA appears to have a more effective virtual model with better student engagement. In contrast, nearby classical academies like Cornerstone Classical Academy and Jacksonville Classical Academy serve a more affluent population and achieve proficiency rates of 70-90%+, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors. DVIA spends $8,222 per student, below the district average but slightly higher than FCCA's $7,977, suggesting a lean budget that may contribute to its high student-to-teacher ratio and limited academic support.
