ISS Virtual Academy

Public, Virtual Grades K-12

Summary

ISS Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Statesville, North Carolina, with an enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, which is ranked 102 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of ISS Virtual Academy is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 82.4% to 91.1% over the past few years, which are generally higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's test scores are mixed compared to the district and state. While the school performs better in some subject areas and grade levels, such as 7th grade reading, its proficiency rates in subjects like Biology and Math III end-of-course exams are significantly lower than the district and state. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated, from 29.4 to 70.8 over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby alternative schools, such as Northview Academy and Discovery Program at The Springs.

When compared to the nearby Community School of Davidson, Davie County Schools, Langtree Charter Academy, and Pine Lake Preparatory, ISS Virtual Academy's performance is significantly lower, particularly in mathematics and reading proficiency rates. This suggests that virtual learning may present unique challenges for some students, especially in more technical or advanced subjects. Overall, ISS Virtual Academy appears to be performing reasonably well compared to the nearby alternative schools, but it faces challenges in matching the academic performance of the local charter schools and the district and state averages in certain subject areas.
