Cheatham County Virtual School

Public, Virtual Grades 9-12

Summary

Cheatham County Virtual School is a small public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Ashland City, Tennessee, part of the Cheatham County school district.

While the school has seen a dramatic shift in its racial makeup, with the student body becoming 100% White in the 2022-2023 school year, its academic performance is concerning. Cheatham County Virtual School significantly underperforms compared to the Cheatham County district and the state of Tennessee on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 12.5% to 28.6% across various subject areas. This places the school in the bottom 10% of high schools in Tennessee, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.8 to 9.5 over the past two years, suggests the virtual learning environment may present unique challenges that the school has not been able to overcome effectively.

Compared to nearby traditional high schools like Harpeth High School, Sycamore High School, and Cheatham County Central, Cheatham County Virtual School is clearly struggling to provide a high-quality educational experience for its students. The data suggests the virtual learning model may not be effectively supporting student academic achievement, and further investigation into the school's instructional practices and support systems could provide insights into how to improve student outcomes.
