Summary

Virtual Learning Academy of St Clair County is a public virtual school in Port Huron, MI, serving 187 students in grades 6-12 as a single-school district within the Virtual Learning Academy of St. Clair County district.

This school faces significant challenges, most notably in student outcomes. The graduation rate stands at just 26.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 84.0%, while the dropout rate of 22.6% is more than three times the state average. These numbers are dramatically lower than nearby traditional schools like Marysville High School (93.7% graduation rate) and Port Huron Northern High School (94.8% graduation rate). Even when compared to another virtual option, East China Virtual Academy—which serves the same grade range just 15 miles away—the contrast is stark: East China boasts a 77.7% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. The school's overall rating has also declined sharply, falling from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating currently.

Academically, the school shows a notable split between subjects. While 31% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, only 9.68% of 10th graders achieved proficiency in PSAT Math. The school serves a predominantly low-income population (over 71% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), and its per-student spending of $7,384 is roughly half of what nearby Port Huron Northern High School spends per student. The student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated wildly, from 14:1 to 31:1 in consecutive years. Given these patterns, this school appears to function as a credit-recovery or alternative option for students who haven't succeeded in traditional settings—similar to Port Huron Schools Phoenix Academy—but the low graduation and high dropout rates suggest it is struggling to meet those students' needs effectively.
