One of five charter schools in the Savannah-Chatham County School System, SCA is the only tuition-free, public school option featuring grades K-12 where students can grow and develop in one location throughout their educational careers.
Every few weeks students in St. Lucie County schools undergo “unit assessments” designed to monitor their progress. And for the first nine weeks of this school year they told an interesting troubling story.
“We had a pretty substantial gap in performance between students who started virtually this year” and those attending classes in brick-and-mortar classrooms, said Jonathan Prince, the district s assistant superintendent.
“And we also saw a big uptick in failure those first nine weeks among virtual students, he said.
The district’s answer was to reach out to parents to say that so long as they were comfortable with it their student would be better off returning to school. Many did; 70% of kids now attend classes in person, up from just under 50% at the beginning of the year.
