Summary

Roane County Virtual Academy is a small public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Harriman, Tennessee, part of the Roane County School District. With just 62 students enrolled, the school has faced some challenges, including lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and fluctuating dropout rates compared to the state and nearby traditional schools.

While Roane County Virtual Academy has seen strong 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 82.4% to 89.6% in recent years, its test scores on the TNReady assessments are generally lower than the Roane County district and state averages across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, the school's projected proficiency rates for 2024-2025 are 16.2% in Math and 24.3% in English Language Arts, compared to 45% and 38% for the Roane County district, respectively. Nearby virtual schools, such as the iLearn Institute at Lenoir City Schools, have outperformed Roane County Virtual Academy on test scores.

Additionally, Roane County Virtual Academy has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.6% to 20.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also spends significantly less per student ($3,556 in 2023-2024) compared to nearby traditional public schools like Coalfield School ($13,858) and Oakdale School ($14,201), which have higher test scores in most subject areas and grade levels. Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, the virtual model may not be as effective for this student population as the traditional school setting.
