The student population at Village Green Virtual is predominantly Hispanic (60.89%) and African American (34.16%), with a high percentage (88.12%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's spending per student ($14,776) is higher than the state average, its academic performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT and PSAT, is significantly below the state average, with only 25.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.1%.

As a virtual charter school, Village Green Virtual may face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and supporting student engagement, which could contribute to its lower academic performance compared to traditional brick-and-mortar schools.
