Despite Weldon STEM High School Career Academies having a significantly higher per-student spending of $18,405 compared to $10,910 for Roanoke Valley Early College, and a much lower student-teacher ratio of 8.8:1 compared to 30:1, the school still underperforms its counterpart in terms of state rankings and test scores.
