Missouri Digital Academy

Summary:

Missouri Digital Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Laquey, Missouri, with 173 students enrolled. The school is part of the Laquey R-V school district, which is ranked 373 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen fluctuating dropout rates and high chronic absenteeism, with rates as high as 34% in the 2021-2022 school year.

Academically, Missouri Digital Academy is significantly underperforming compared to the state and local district averages. For example, in 8th grade Mathematics, only 4.1% of Missouri Digital Academy students scored proficient or better, compared to 4.6% in the Laquey R-V district and 30.6% statewide.

Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 52.6% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The data analysis suggests that Missouri Digital Academy is facing a complex set of challenges related to student engagement, access to resources, and the unique needs of its virtual learning environment. The school's academic performance and attendance metrics have not shown significant improvement over the past few years, indicating that the school may be struggling to address these persistent challenges. While the Laquey R-V district is also performing below state averages, Missouri Digital Academy's performance is significantly worse across multiple metrics, suggesting that the school may be facing unique challenges beyond those of the broader 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.
