Vanguard Virtual High School

Q: Is Vanguard Virtual High School a good school?

Vanguard Virtual High School ranks 100 th of 374 Tennessee high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vanguard Virtual High School is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Franklin, Tennessee, part of the highly-ranked Williamson County school district. With a student population of 121, the school has a diverse racial makeup and a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 4.4, compared to nearby physical high schools that range from 15.5 to 19.8 students per teacher.

Vanguard Virtual High School students perform well on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in many subjects. However, they lag behind the Williamson County district average in several areas, particularly in math subjects like Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. The school's racial makeup also differs from nearby physical high schools, with a higher percentage of White students (78.51%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 58.28% to 82.4% White students. Additionally, Vanguard Virtual High School does not report any free or reduced-price lunch recipients, while the nearby physical high schools range from 0% to an unreported percentage.

These findings suggest that the virtual learning model at Vanguard Virtual High School is effective for certain subject areas, such as Biology I, English I, and English II, but may present more challenges for math instruction. The school's unique student demographics and lack of reported free/reduced lunch recipients also raise questions about potential barriers to access or enrollment for underrepresented minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. While Vanguard Virtual High School is a high-performing school within the Williamson County district, there may be room for improvement in addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access and outcomes for all students.

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.
