Sunflower Virtual Academy

Sunflower Virtual Academy is a K–12 alternative school in the Augusta district; the supplied data list enrollment as 0, so they do not provide a usable student count. Its clearest distinction is that its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency results are higher than those of the state, district, and all four nearby comparison schools in ELA, math, and science.

Sunflower is strongest compared with nearby schools in science and math, and it also leads in ELA: its proficiency rates are 52% in science, 44% in math, and 62% in ELA, versus nearby-school averages of 19%, 18%, and 29%, respectively. Compared with the state, Sunflower is ahead by 14 percentage points in science, 3 in math, and 16 in ELA; compared with the Augusta district, it is ahead by 21, 8, and 19 points, respectively. The standout concern is 10th-grade math, at 9%—below the 11% at Education Imagine Academy and 16% at Derby Virtual School, and 27 points below the state and 28 below the district. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism is 2%, compared with 11% in the district and 18% statewide, the lowest rate among the schools compared.

There is no basis here to say whether Sunflower’s test results are improving or declining: only 2025–26 results are supplied. SchoolDigger’s figures describe the district, not the school: Augusta ranks 150th of 268 districts, is at the 44th percentile, and has 2 stars; its percentile is second-highest among the four comparison districts. School-level SchoolDigger rankings and stars, student–teacher ratio, and free/reduced-lunch rate are unavailable, so those measures cannot add context about the school.
