Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy

Summary:

Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy is an alternative public virtual school located in Johnson City, Tennessee, serving grades 3-12 with a total enrollment of 65 students. The school is part of the Washington County school district, which is ranked 40th out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.23%) compared to the state and district averages, its test scores are generally lower than the Washington County district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science were all below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, but it is still lower than the nearby University School. The student-teacher ratio at Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy has also fluctuated, ranging from 5.4 in 2020-2021 to 22.7 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby University School.

When compared to the nearby University School, Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy performs significantly worse on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. The school's enrollment has also decreased from 93.75% white students in 2020-2021 to 89.23% in 2022-2023, suggesting a potential decline in overall enrollment or a shift in the student population. These factors, along with the lower test scores and fluctuating student-teacher ratio, may indicate challenges in providing a high-quality virtual learning environment and effectively supporting student academic achievement at Tennessee Virtual Learning Academy.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
