Summary
Robertson County Virtual School is a small public virtual school serving grades 3-12 in Springfield, Tennessee, with a student population of 73 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial students.
While Robertson County Virtual School outperforms the nearby Robertson County Phoenix Academy, another alternative school in the district, its test scores are generally lower than the Robertson County and Tennessee state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (23.1%), English Language Arts (35.7%), and US History (16.7%) are significantly below the county and state averages. The school's spending per student has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from $2,255 in 2020-2021 to $140,897 in 2019-2020, which may impact its ability to provide consistent resources and support for its students. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has varied, from 21.5 in 2020-2021 to 73 in the current school year, which could present challenges in providing personalized attention and support.
In contrast, the Merrol Hyde Magnet School, a public alternative school in the neighboring Sumner County district, stands out as a high-performing school with significantly higher test scores than Robertson County Virtual School, the Robertson County district, and the state of Tennessee. This highlights the potential for alternative schools to achieve strong academic outcomes when provided with the necessary resources and support, which Robertson County Virtual School may be lacking.
