Despite the higher spending per student, which has increased from $8,497 in 2020-2021 to $14,696 in 2023-2024, Lakeshore Virtual School's academic performance is still lagging behind the surrounding district and state averages, as well as the nearby Trillium Academy, a public charter school that generally outperforms Lakeshore Virtual School in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics, despite serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 25.8% to 49.6%, are significantly higher than the surrounding district and state averages, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.
