In contrast, the virtual schools in the district, Link Learning Virtual Program and West Michigan Virtual Battle Creek High School, have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. These virtual schools also have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is often associated with lower academic performance. However, Berrien Springs Discovery Academy, with the second-highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, still manages to outperform the other virtual schools, indicating that socioeconomic factors may not be the sole determinant of a school's performance.
