Wayne County Learning Academy

Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

Summary

Wayne County Learning Academy is a public virtual high school in Monticello, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 30 students. The school is part of the Wayne County School District, which is ranked 140 out of 160 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, its academic performance is concerning. The 10th-grade proficiency rates in Mathematics (30%) and Reading (30%) are lower than the Wayne County district average (24% and 38% respectively) and the state average (34% and 46% respectively). Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (96.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Compared to the nearby Wayne County High School, which has higher proficiency rates, the virtual learning environment at Wayne County Learning Academy may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, it is ranked 208 out of 276 Kentucky high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom quarter of high schools in the state. However, when looking at the ranking for low socioeconomic status students, Wayne County Learning Academy performs slightly better, ranking 164 out of 272 high schools and receiving a 2-star rating. This suggests that the school may be providing additional support or resources to this specific student group, but more work is needed to improve the overall academic outcomes for all students.
