Summary

Spokane Virtual Academy is a fully online public school serving about 247 students in grades PK-12 within the Spokane School District, which serves a diverse community in Spokane, Washington.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both district and state averages; for example, only about 30% of students are proficient in English compared to 49% in the district, and only about 13% are proficient in math. The school's graduation rate of 79% is also below the district average. It's important to note that the school serves a high-need population, with nearly 64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a higher percentage than most similar schools in the area. Despite these academic results, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, at over $15,600.

When compared to other local alternative schools, the differences are striking. For instance, Bryant Center, another alternative school in the same Spokane School District, has much higher proficiency rates and a lower percentage of students in economic need. Other nearby options like Mead Learning Options and EV Parent Partnership also show different performance and demographic profiles. This suggests parents should look closely at how each school's specific model, whether fully virtual like Spokane Virtual Academy or EV Online, or offering in-person support, might fit their child's learning needs.
