Valley Online Academy

Public, Virtual, Alternative Grades K-12
Summary

Wenatchee Internet Academy is a small, alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Wenatchee School District. With just 50 students enrolled, the school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students over the past few years.

Wenatchee Internet Academy faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming the district and state on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly lower than the surrounding schools. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 72% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the Special Education School at 37.01%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, ranging from 9.9 to 29.3 over the past few years, which may impact the quality of instruction and personalized attention students receive.

Interestingly, Wenatchee Internet Academy's performance and student demographics differ significantly from the nearby Chelan County Juvenile Detention Center. While the school faces challenges, the high per-student spending, which was $9,990 in 2021-2022 and $9,471 in 2020-2021, suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it utilizes its resources to better support student learning and improve educational outcomes.
