Parents should note that the comparison is not perfectly apples-to-apples: DeKalb Virtual Academy is virtual, reports enrollment of 0, and lacks key context such as poverty, staffing, graduation, and attendance data. No school-level ILEARN ELA, math, or science results are provided, and only one year of rank history is available, so no trend can be assessed. Nearby schools report much more complete data, including graduation rates from 92.0% to 99.3% and chronic absenteeism from 8.0% to 25.3%. Even with those caveats, the state-reported academic results place DeKalb Virtual Academy at the bottom of this comparison group by a wide margin.
