Summary

Cultivate Virtual Learning Academy is a small public school in Shelbyville, Kentucky, serving grades 6–12 with 82 students in Shelby County. Its 2025–26 KSA results show low proficiency across every subject with a reported score: 15% in 10th-grade reading, 5% in 11th-grade science, 28% in writing, 16% in social studies, and 19% in editing and mechanics. The most important finding is that every reported result falls below both district and state results.

Reading is the clearest weakness compared with nearby schools and state and district results: Cultivate’s 15% is 28 percentage points below the district and 34 below the state, and 33 points below the nearby-school average of 48%; it is also lower than every nearby school with a reported 10th-grade score. Writing is relatively strongest against the district, with a 10-point gap (28% versus 38%), but remains below the state’s 47% and all but one nearby school’s result; it exceeds only Frankfort High School, which scored 21%. Science is closest to the state result, at 18 points below, and is least far below its nearby-school average. These are relative strengths only: Cultivate does not outperform the district or state in any reported subject.

The available results do not show whether scores or rankings are improving or declining over time; only 2025–26 results are supplied, and math and grades 6–8 results are suppressed. SchoolDigger ranks Cultivate 247th of 262 statewide, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars, below nearby schools with current-year rankings; Shelby County ranks 122nd of 158 districts, at the 23rd percentile with 1 star. The reported 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 82:1, far above nearby schools’ 4.6:1–19.1:1 range; the data do not establish why this ratio and the results occur together. In 2024–25, 46% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, about 3 percentage points below the nearby-school average of 49%; this is context, not an explanation of results.
