  • Open in NCES’s 2025-26 directory, which is still preliminary.
  • NCES lists it as exclusively virtual: its students learn online.
  • NCES gives no 2024-25 count of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch for this school.
  • NCES’s estimate of poverty around its address isn’t shown: as a virtual school, its students don’t learn there.

Who runs it?

  • Run by COLUMBIA, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
  • District spending, fiscal year 2024: COLUMBIA spent $10,841 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 9,785 students, of which $5,976 went on instruction and $4,139 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
  • That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

Has anything been proven against it?

  • Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
  • To protect students’ privacy, ED adds or takes away one at random from chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
  • ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
  • As a virtual school, it isn’t compared with schools nearby.
