Maine Virtual Academy

Summary:

Maine Virtual Academy is the sole public charter virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the state. With 442 students enrolled, the school has faced some significant challenges in recent years, including a declining statewide ranking and below-average academic performance compared to other schools in Maine.

According to the data, Maine Virtual Academy has a district rank of 158 out of 176 and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 82 out of 121 high schools in 2023-2024 to 99 out of 119 high schools in 2024-2025. This decline in performance is further reflected in the school's proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) tests, which are below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Other notable statistics include a 4-year graduation rate of 87.8% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 53.62% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. As a virtual school, Maine Virtual Academy may face unique challenges in engaging students and supporting their academic and social-emotional needs, which could contribute to the lower performance compared to the state average.
