Craven Virtual Academy

Summary:

Craven Virtual Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades 4-12 in New Bern, North Carolina, with a student population of 111 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This unique school within the Craven County Board of Education district has a distinct academic profile, with strengths in reading and science but lower performance in mathematics compared to district and state averages.

Craven Virtual Academy's student population has a higher percentage of White students and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district. The school's reading and science proficiency rates are generally higher than the district and state, while its mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower. This suggests the school may be focusing more on language arts and science instruction in its virtual curriculum. Interestingly, Craven Virtual Academy's reading proficiency rates are higher than those of the nearby Arapahoe Charter School, but its mathematics and science proficiency rates are lower.

Another notable aspect of Craven Virtual Academy is its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 in the 2022-2023 school year, a significant improvement from the previous year's ratio of 19. This indicates the school may have made efforts to provide more individualized attention to its students, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance profile.

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.
