Summary

Volunteer State Virtual Academy Elementary School is a public virtual elementary school located in Hohenwald, Tennessee, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 356 students. The school is part of the Lewis County School District, which is ranked 106 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Volunteer State Virtual Academy Elementary School is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 14.7% in Mathematics, 21% in English Language Arts, and 22.8% in Science, compared to the state averages of 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%, respectively. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.7% to 57.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Lewis County Intermediate School and Lewis County Elementary School, which are part of the same district, significantly outperform Volunteer State Virtual Academy Elementary School in academic proficiency rates and school rankings. This suggests that the virtual school model may not be effectively serving the students in this district, and the in-person schools are providing a better educational experience.
