Profiles in Online Excellence: Federal Way Internet Academy!

This comparison is done with their 2007-2008 scores, not 2008-2009, because they didn't have a full set of scores for the most current year. Why didn't they? Awesomeness, that's why.
  • For that year, FWIA had a 66% passing rate on their READING test. The state average was 81.8%. FWIA was 15.8% worse than the state average.
  • FWIA had a 22.6% passing rate on their MATH test. The state average was 49.6%. FWIA was 27% worse than the state average.
  • FWIA had a 66% passing rate on their WRITING test. The state average was 86.8%. FWIA was 20.8% worse that the state average.
  • FWIA had a 17% passing rate on their SCIENCE test. The state average was 40% FWIA was 23% worse than the state average.
