Summary

Vancouver Home Connection is a small, K-12 alternative public school serving 159 students within the Vancouver School District, sharing its campus with Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy.

As an alternative school, it serves students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting, and its academic performance shows a mixed picture when compared to similar schools in the area. For instance, its math scores are slightly higher than the Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy but lower than Home Choice Academy, while its science scores are notably lower than several peers. The school's performance has been volatile year-to-year, with a significant recent drop in science proficiency, though it shows particular strength in 4th-grade math. With 45.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, it serves a less economically disadvantaged population than many nearby alternative schools like Vancouver Success Academy or Jim Tangeman Center.

Resources vary widely among alternative schools, and Vancouver Home Connection's per-student spending of $23,698 is in the middle range—much lower than the Jim Tangeman Center but higher than the Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy. Its student-teacher ratio of 17.6 to 1 is higher than some specialized programs. The school's performance is below the district average, which is common for alternative schools, and key areas for attention include supporting middle school grades and understanding the sharp decline in science scores.
