LESD Online Academy

Summary:

LESD Online Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Avondale, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 83 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

LESD Online Academy stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (73.49%) compared to the nearby Tres Rios Elementary School (83.6%) and Quentin Elementary School (72.01%). The school also outperforms the Littleton Elementary District and the state of Arizona in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in Science and English Language Arts. Additionally, LESD Online Academy has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 11:1, compared to the nearby traditional public schools, which range from 19.1:1 to 21.2:1.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a higher dropout rate of 6.0% in the 2021-2022 school year, compared to the nearby traditional public schools, which ranged from 0.3% to 2.6%. Additionally, the school's performance is not consistent across all grade levels and subjects, with the 4th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics being lower than the district and state averages. Interestingly, the nearby Arts Academy at Estrella Mountain and Academy of Math and Science Avondale, both charter schools, generally outperform LESD Online Academy and the traditional public schools in the Littleton Elementary District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
