Kansas Virtual Academy (KSVA)

Summary:

Kansas Virtual Academy (KSVA) is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-6 in Spring Hill, Kansas, a district ranked 61 out of 269 in the state and with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. While KSVA has seen a shift in its student racial makeup in recent years, its academic performance consistently lags behind both the state and its local Spring Hill district schools.

KSVA's standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and local averages. In 2022-2023, only 25.22% of KSVA students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.04% in the Spring Hill district and 33.17% statewide. Similarly, just 14.73% of KSVA students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 42.54% in Spring Hill and 31.29% statewide. KSVA's statewide ranking among Kansas elementary schools has been consistently low, ranging from 457 out of 670 schools in 2020-2021 to 564 out of 660 schools in 2022-2023.

Additionally, KSVA has a significantly higher student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby Spring Hill district schools, ranging from 28.8 in 2022-2023 to 43.6 in 2020-2021. This is much higher than the 11.4 to 17.9 student-teacher ratios observed in the Spring Hill district schools. The virtual learning model at KSVA may face challenges in delivering the same level of academic outcomes as traditional in-person instruction, particularly in addressing the needs of diverse learners.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
