While Metro East Web Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (60.83%) compared to the surrounding schools, its test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 11th grade English Language Arts, Metro East Web Academy scored 44.7% proficient or better, compared to the district's 37.9% and the state's 46.2%. This pattern holds true for math and science as well. The school has also seen a notable improvement in its student-teacher ratio, decreasing from 32.6 in 2020-2021 to 15.5 in 2022-2023, which could potentially impact the school's ability to provide more personalized attention to students. However, at $6,429 per student in 2021-2022, Metro East Web Academy's spending is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the lower test scores compared to the surrounding schools.
When comparing Metro East Web Academy to other virtual schools in the area, such as Tigard-Tualatin Virtual Academy and Clackamas Web Academy, Metro East Web Academy's test scores are generally lower, suggesting that the virtual learning model may not be as effective for this school as it is for some of the other virtual schools in the region.
