Summary:
Village Green Virtual is the sole public charter virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Providence, Rhode Island, with a total enrollment of 210 students. While the school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 39th out of 60 Rhode Island high schools in 2022-2023 to 49th out of 60 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star, the data provides valuable insights into the school's challenges and areas for improvement.
Academically, Village Green Virtual has struggled, with only 21.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the statewide average of 51.6%. Similarly, only 26% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in PSAT10/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.8%. This significant achievement gap suggests the need for the school to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and support for students in this subject area.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with 94.76% of students at Village Green Virtual eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending of $15,882 and a student-teacher ratio of 15:1 indicate that the school may have adequate funding and resources, but the declining performance and achievement gap suggest the need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to better support student learning and outcomes.
