Summary

Columbia Virtual Academy - Kettle Falls is a public online high school serving 419 students in grades 9-12 within the Kettle Falls School District.

The school presents a mixed academic profile: it excels in English Language Arts, consistently outperforming the nearby Kettle Falls High School and the state average, but struggles significantly in mathematics proficiency. Its performance in science is slightly above the state average. Notably, the school operates with far fewer resources per student and a much higher student-to-teacher ratio compared to traditional local schools like Colville Senior High School.

The most critical challenges for the academy are its low graduation rate and very high dropout rate, which are significantly worse than both the district and state averages, as well as those of surrounding traditional high schools. Its statewide ranking has been volatile over the years. The virtual model appears to work well for some students, particularly in certain subjects, but the school faces major hurdles in keeping students engaged through to graduation.
