Academically, the virtual school is significantly underperforming compared to the state and nearby traditional public schools.

In contrast, nearby schools like Yorktown Middle School, which is ranked 128 out of 489 Indiana middle schools, have significantly higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.
The virtual school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 47.47% suggests that it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to the challenges it faces. Additionally, the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 10.1 and higher spending per student of $11,740 in 2021-2022 compared to nearby traditional public schools indicate that the virtual learning model may not be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
