Summary

Cumberland Virtual Academy 6-12 is a public virtual school in Fayetteville, NC, serving 390 students in grades 6-12 as part of Cumberland County Schools. Ranking in the 31st percentile statewide, it has one clear strength: attendance. Only 14.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, versus 33.7% for the district and 24.2% statewide, and far below local schools like Douglas Byrd High (64.5%) and Ramsey Street High (75.7%). The recent graduation rate of 91.5% also tops the district and state, though it has been volatile.

Academically, middle school reading is a bright spot, with 6th-8th grade proficiency between 65.8% and 69.0%, all above district and state averages. Science also exceeds state levels. High-school English II (62.5%) is close to district/state averages and ahead of E E Smith High (51.8%), but Math I (30.6%) and Biology (44.4%) fall well below. This suggests middle-grade instruction is a strength, while high-school math and science need scrutiny.

Subgroup rankings are uneven. African American and Hispanic students earn 3-star rankings, but White, female, and special education students receive 1-star. Overall, CVA sits at the 31st percentile, near Terry Sanford High (34th) and E E Smith High (35th), far below selective magnets like Cumberland Polytechnic (98th) and Cross Creek Early College (92nd), yet above Douglas Byrd High (13th) and Ramsey Street High (5th). For parents, the school offers strong attendance, solid middle-grades reading and science, and a recent graduation rate above average, but challenges in high-school math and uneven subgroup outcomes.
