Renaissance Virtual School

Public, Virtual, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Renaissance Virtual School is an alternative public virtual school located in Clarkston, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 881 students. The school is part of the Clarkston Community School District, which is ranked 105 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Renaissance Virtual School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.38%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has seen fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a low of 26.6% in 2019-2020 to a high of 100% in 2018-2019, with the most recent rate in 2022-2023 at 61.5%, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced an increase in dropout rates, rising from 0% in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 to 23% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Renaissance Virtual School's test scores are generally lower than the Clarkston Community School District and the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, including M-Step, PSAT, and SAT.

When compared to other nearby virtual schools, such as Oxford Virtual Academy and Virtual Learning Academy Consortium, Renaissance Virtual School generally underperforms in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and student-teacher ratios. The school's racial demographic is also in contrast to the more diverse makeup of nearby schools, such as Pontiac Academy for Excellence and Oakside Prep Academy. Despite increased spending per student, from $8,835 in 2019-2020 to $12,223 in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement.
