Summary

Palm Beach Virtual Instruction Program is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with 91 students enrolled. The school is part of the Palm Beach school district, which is ranked 38th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Palm Beach Virtual Instruction Program stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 88% to 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with some subjects and grade levels performing above the district and state, such as 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Science, while others lag behind, such as 10th grade ELA and Geometry. The school also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 31.4%, much higher than the district and state averages.

Comparing Palm Beach Virtual Instruction Program to nearby schools, such as Riverbend Academy and The Learning Academy At The Els Center Of Excellence, reveals that these alternative and specialized schools also have similar high graduation rates and chronic absenteeism rates. However, their test scores and student-teacher ratios vary significantly. The nearby Conservatory School at North Palm Beach, a public magnet school, stands out with significantly higher test scores than Palm Beach Virtual Instruction Program, the district, and the state in many subjects and grade levels, suggesting that the specialized curriculum and focus of the magnet school may be contributing to their academic success.
