In contrast, Mason Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school that shares similar academic outcomes with Mason Senior High School, including the same graduation and dropout rates. However, the virtual school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.75%) compared to Mason Senior High School (38.58%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. This difference in socioeconomic status may contribute to the observed differences in per-student spending and student-to-teacher ratios between the two schools.
