Global E-Learning Academy

Global E-Learning Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Elkin, North Carolina, with a small student population of 74. While the Elkin City Schools district is ranked 68 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, Global E-Learning Academy faces several challenges compared to nearby schools.

The school's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the Elkin City Schools district and the state of North Carolina across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate was 46.7% compared to 49.5% for the district and 46.9% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning in subjects like Biology and Math I, where the proficiency rates are much lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is not representative of the surrounding community, with a higher percentage of White students (72.97%) and a lower percentage of Hispanic students (6.76%) compared to the nearby Elkin High School and the state's demographics.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Elkin High School, North Wilkes High School, and Yadkin Early College, Global E-Learning Academy's performance and student demographics are less favorable. These nearby schools demonstrate stronger academic performance and more diverse student populations, suggesting that the virtual nature of Global E-Learning Academy may contribute to the differences in student outcomes.
