Summary

Knox County Virtual School is an alternative public virtual school serving grades 1-12 in the Knox County school district, with 404 students. While the school provides an online learning option, its performance metrics suggest significant challenges compared to other schools in the region.

Over the past few years, Knox County Virtual School has had graduation rates ranging from 74.1% to 90.2%, which are generally lower than the state average of around 90%. The school has also struggled with higher dropout rates, ranging from 5.5% to 17.2%, compared to the state average of around 5%.
