Summary

Taylor Virtual Learning Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Taylor School District in Michigan, with 293 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, with a current ranking of 682 out of 739 schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor Virtual Learning Academy consistently underperforms the Taylor School District and the state of Michigan on standardized test scores across subjects like M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, and SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10.2% of 11th graders at Taylor Virtual Learning Academy were proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to 16.7% for the Taylor School District and 34.9% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 5.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to 27.5% for the state. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 81.7% in 2022-2023 to 67.7% in 2023-2024, and an increase in its dropout rate, from 8.1% in 2022-2023 to 13.9% in 2023-2024.

Taylor Virtual Learning Academy has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 63.8% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the 29.5% rate at Taylor High School. The school also serves a high-needs population, with 80.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, higher than the 74.39% rate at the nearby Taylor High School. The performance of Taylor Virtual Learning Academy is similar to that of other virtual schools in the region, such as Westwood Virtual Academy, suggesting that the virtual school model may be struggling to effectively serve students in this area.
