Virtual Academy

Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

Summary

Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school located in Owensboro, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 70 students. It is part of the Daviess County School District, which is ranked 61 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Virtual Academy's academic performance lags significantly behind other high schools in the Daviess County district, such as Apollo High School and Daviess County High School, which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall SchoolDigger rankings. Even compared to other alternative and specialized high schools in the district, such as The Center for Academic Improvement and Heritage Park High School, Virtual Academy's academic outcomes are still considerably lower. For example, in 11th grade ACT, only 6% of Virtual Academy students were proficient or better in English, 0% in Mathematics, and 0% in Reading, compared to the district averages of 43%, 27%, and 39%, respectively.

The low academic performance and graduation rates at Virtual Academy suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively serving its student population, which includes a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The virtual learning environment may present additional hurdles for students, and the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better meet the needs of its unique student body. Given the proximity of Virtual Academy to other high-performing schools in the district, there may be opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing to help improve the school's academic outcomes.
