Summary

Greyhounds Online Academy is a small, alternative public virtual school serving grades K-9 in the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District in Texas. With just 100 students, the school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the same as its district's overall rating.

Greyhounds Online Academy stands out for its relatively strong academic performance compared to the district and state, particularly in the upper grades. For example, 8th-grade students at the school had 66.67% proficiency in reading, compared to 49.13% for the district and 56.39% for Texas. However, the school has seen higher dropout rates than nearby alternative schools, ranging from 1.8% to 8.7% over the past 5 years. Additionally, Greyhounds Online Academy serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 78.85% to 79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, while Greyhounds Online Academy outperforms its local district, it lags behind the South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Virtual Academy, located about 19 miles away, which has significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in its virtual learning model and curriculum. Additionally, the school's proximity to San Benito Veterans Memorial Academy, another alternative public school in the district, highlights the diverse performance profiles of the area's alternative education options.
