Medford Online Academy

Public, Virtual Grades K-8

Summary

Medford Online Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Medford School District 549C, with 93 students. The school has a history of low performance, consistently underperforming the district and state in standardized test scores across grade levels and subject areas.

Medford Online Academy's academic performance is particularly concerning, with projected 8th grade proficiency rates of just 21.1% in English Language Arts and 13.6% in Math, compared to the district's 40.3% and 29.3%, and the state's 41.6% and 28.9%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.0% to 38.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending less per student ($8,624) than nearby traditional elementary schools ($17,042 - $23,087), the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is lower than the nearby schools (16.0 - 20.1).

Comparing Medford Online Academy to the nearby Hoover Elementary School, Oak Grove Elementary School, and Lone Pine Elementary School, the traditional elementary schools generally outperform the virtual school in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. This suggests that the challenges of delivering effective virtual education, especially for younger students, may be contributing to Medford Online Academy's struggles.
