Summary

The Smoky Valley Virtual Charter School is an alternative K–12 school in Lindsborg, Kansas, serving 402 students; no other schools are listed within 20 miles. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 31% in English language arts, 13% in math and 16% in science, below both the state and Smoky Valley district in every subject. Math is the clearest concern: its 13% proficiency was 28 percentage points below the state and 33 points below the district.

Chronic absenteeism is notably low: the school’s 2% rate in 2025–2026 compared with 18% statewide and 7% districtwide.

Results have improved in some areas, but not all. Math proficiency rose from 2% in 2022–2023 to 13% in 2025–2026, while its gap with the district widened from 28 to 33 percentage points. ELA rose from 14% to 31%, and its gap with the state narrowed from 19 to 15 points; science was essentially flat, at 16% in both 2022–2023 and 2025–2026.
