Fargo K–8 Virtual Academy is a public virtual school in Fargo, North Dakota, which is a city of medium size. There are 28 students in grades K–8 at the school, and one teacher for every 14 students, which is a little more than the district average. There are two full-time equivalent teachers at the academy who help students learn online. According to recent standardized tests, 25% of students at Fargo K-8 Virtual Academy are good at math and 35% are good at reading. The class has both boys and girls. The academy uses the online curriculum that the district has approved, and it may offer extra help or enrichment services to students who need them. Fargo Public Schools gives the school money and makes sure it follows their rules, but it doesn't keep track of how much it spends on programs or students separately. The Fargo K–8 Virtual Academy is a flexible choice for kids who don't want to go to regular school, but test scores show that some kids still need help and can do better.
