The Virtual Academy at Randolph

Summary:

The Virtual Academy at Randolph is a small elementary school in Asheboro, North Carolina, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 96 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently underperformed compared to the Randolph County School System and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG/Mathematics was significantly lower at The Virtual Academy at Randolph than the district and state averages. Similarly, the school's performance in EOG/Reading and EOG/Science for 8th grade was also below the district and state levels. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools like Southmont Elementary and New Market Elementary, which have higher percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the school's diverse student population and small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, The Virtual Academy at Randolph's academic performance indicates that it may need to implement more effective instructional strategies and interventions to support student learning. The school's leadership and the Randolph County School System should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and take targeted actions to improve student outcomes.

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.
