Summary

Georgia Cyber Academy (Virtual) is a large public charter virtual school serving 9,762 students in grades K-12 in Atlanta, Georgia. While the school offers an alternative learning model, its academic performance has been a mixed bag, with proficiency rates on state assessments often lagging behind the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Georgia Cyber Academy (Virtual)'s proficiency rates were 43% in American Literature, 26% in Algebra I, 38.7% in Biology, and 29.3% in US History, compared to the state averages of 40.4%, 44.9%, 44.2%, and 38.6% respectively. The school's performance on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments for grades 3-8 also trails the state by 10-20 percentage points. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 65.0% and 85.4% over the past few years, lower than the typical 85-90% range for traditional public high schools in Georgia.

However, the school does serve a population with a higher socioeconomic need, as indicated by its relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.21% to 56.06% in recent years. This suggests the virtual learning model may present unique challenges for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school has increased its per-student spending from $5,769 in 2016-2017 to $8,419 in 2018-2019, indicating a growing investment in the virtual school model. Overall, Georgia Cyber Academy (Virtual) faces the ongoing task of improving academic outcomes and graduation rates while addressing the needs of its diverse student population.
