Better than 20% of Washington high schools

Summary

Kent Virtual Academy is a small, fully online public school serving about 130 students in grades 6-12 within the Kent School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom fifth of all Washington high schools with notably low state test scores, especially in math where only about 10% of students are proficient. This performance is lower than most traditional high schools in the area, such as Kentridge High School and Mount Rainier High School, though it is somewhat comparable to other schools serving high-need populations like Kent-Meridian High School. A striking fact is that despite these low scores, Kent Virtual Academy has the highest per-student spending in its district.

As an online alternative, the school serves an important role, particularly for students seeking a different learning environment. Its graduation rate, while below the district average, is much higher than other alternative programs in the district like the Individualized Graduation & Degree Program, suggesting it can be a more effective option for some at-risk students. However, the data indicates the virtual model has not yet found a way to translate its high level of resources into strong academic results on standardized tests.
