Summary

Vanguard Virtual High School is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Franklin, Tennessee, which is part of the highly-ranked Williamson County school district. With 123 students, Vanguard Virtual High School appears to be underperforming compared to nearby traditional high schools in the district.

Vanguard Virtual High School's test scores are significantly lower than the Williamson County and Tennessee averages across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.1% of Vanguard students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 58.5% in Williamson County and 29.4% statewide. The school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate ranging from 86.5% to 96.5%, and a higher dropout rate ranging from 1.0% to 8.6%, compared to the Williamson County averages. Additionally, Vanguard Virtual High School has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.5% to 20.2%, compared to the Williamson County average of 18.9%.

Despite having higher per-student funding and lower student-teacher ratios than nearby traditional high schools like Summit High School, Fred J. Page High School, and Brentwood High School, Vanguard Virtual High School's performance metrics suggest that the virtual school model may not be effectively meeting the needs of its students. Further investigation into the specific challenges and barriers faced by Vanguard Virtual High School could provide valuable insights to improve the school's performance and better support its students.
