Summary

iGrad Virtual Academy School is a small public virtual high school in Canton, GA, serving just 210 students in grades 9-12 within the Cherokee County School District—making it roughly 14 times smaller than nearby Cherokee High School, which enrolls over 3,000 students.

The most striking feature of iGrad is its near-perfect attendance: only 0.7% of students are chronically absent, compared to 10.2% district-wide and 17.7% statewide. This is likely a benefit of the virtual model, where students learn from home. However, academic performance tells a different story. On state tests, iGrad's proficiency rates lag far behind district averages—for example, just 19.2% of students scored proficient in Algebra I versus 62.3% district-wide, and 25.3% in U.S. History versus 55.7% district-wide. These gaps are especially notable because iGrad's student body is relatively affluent, with only 21.4% qualifying for free or reduced lunch—similar to Creekview High School (19.6%) and Milton High School (17.2%). The school's state ranking has also slipped from the 68th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, while nearby traditional schools have held steady or improved.

Despite the test score challenges, iGrad posts a strong graduation rate of 92.7%—above the district's 91.8% and the state's 87.2%. This suggests the school excels at helping students who may have struggled in traditional settings complete their diplomas. The school also spends less per student ($11,378) than every nearby traditional high school, and its student-teacher ratio has nearly doubled from 12.1 to 21.0 in just two years. For families considering iGrad, the trade-off is clear: it offers flexibility and strong graduation support, but surrounding schools like River Ridge High School (70.5% Algebra I proficiency) or Lassiter High School (74.9%) deliver far stronger standardized test outcomes.
