Summary

Baltimore Revolutionary Academy for Virtual Education (BRAVE) is a unique virtual school within the Baltimore City Public Schools district, serving 515 students from Grade 5 through Grade 12 in a high-poverty area where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

BRAVE stands out from nearby schools in several important ways. Its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 42.4% is significantly higher than the district average and outperforms every nearby Baltimore City school, even surpassing Loch Raven High (38.3%) and Overlea High (35.7%) in Baltimore County. The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its city cluster at 31.2%, a dramatic improvement compared to schools like Reginald F. Lewis High (85.8%) and Achievement Academy at Harbor City High (93.8%). Additionally, BRAVE's graduation rate of 80.2% is 8.5 percentage points higher than the Baltimore City district average, and its dropout rate of 12.5% is 8.3 points lower, suggesting the virtual model effectively keeps students engaged and on track to graduate.

However, the school shows a striking imbalance in academic performance. While ELA is a clear strength, Mathematics proficiency is critically low at just 5.9%, creating the largest gap between subjects of any nearby school. This means BRAVE is successfully addressing major challenges like absenteeism and dropout rates, but families should be aware that math support may need extra attention at home. Overall, the school ranks 147th out of 227 high schools in Maryland (35th percentile), placing it well above its immediate Baltimore City neighbors like Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High and City Neighbors High, which rank in the 10th to 23rd percentile.
