Summary:

Alachua Eschool (Virtual Franchise) is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Gainesville, Florida, which is part of the Alachua school district. The school has seen fluctuations in its student racial makeup, with White students making up the largest percentage, followed by African American and Hispanic students.

While Alachua Eschool has maintained a 0% chronic absenteeism rate, its academic performance metrics are generally lower than nearby traditional public high schools like F.W. Buchholz High School. The school's 4-year graduation rates have ranged from a high of 93.5% to a low of 61.7%, notably lower than the 95.6% rate at F.W. Buchholz High. Additionally, Alachua Eschool's test scores are consistently below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 26% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1 compared to 55% for the district and state.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Alachua Eschool, ranging from 44.83% to 48.84%, suggests the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to nearby schools like Eastside High (46.66%) and Gainesville High (36.1%). This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, highlighting the challenges virtual schools face in providing a comparable educational experience to traditional public high schools.

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.
