Niche User: My daughter has found her learning community- an exceptional group of students and educators pushing the boundaries of educational technology! The classes are rigorous and the students are competitive, but also kind, engaged, and respectful. While the schedule can be grueling, most students thrive in the OHS environment because they feel like they are learning so much that the hours laboring away are well worth it. Even for highly gifted students, getting straight A's at OHS is difficult. Students, however, seem to care more about the effort they put in to a class, and the passion they have for learning than the grade received. All in all, I would highly recommend Stanford OHS!Read 76 Reviews
High School Senior: Laurel Springs is an online school, and it has really helped me to have a flexible schedule. I am a singer, actress, and dancer, and Laurel Springs has allowed me to pursue my interests, while still being challenged in school.Read 30 Reviews
Senior: I enrolled in Connections Academy my senior year of high school and I wish that I had done it sooner! The teachers are always available to answer your questions and are very nice about it. You truly believe that they want you to succeed! I had come from a public high school and blended online program where the fundamental relationship between teacher and student was missing. I love being able to work on my own schedule and find the content to be presented in a way that is easy to understand. The weekly LiveLessons are incredibly helpful and key to your success in the class! However, I do think it would be helpful if the teachers each had their own calendar for you to schedule meetings with them instead of calling and hoping that they pick up. Overall, this is an incredible school and I would encourage everyone to look in to it!Read 107 Reviews
High School Student: It is easier than going to an offline public school.Read 4 Reviews
Freshman: California Connections Academy at Ripon is a great school. It is virtual, so it is all online, but one can receive an excellent education here, and parents are very involved. The teachers make a great effort to connect to the students by phone contact, live lessons, and webmails. I have had no issues with this school, and have received a great education. I am not saying this to get off easy, I can honestly say there is nothing that California Connections needs to change. Excellent school!Read 21 Reviews
Senior: Florida Virtual School is such a blessing! It is one of the best, if not the best, virtual schools. With a wide variety of classes, stretching from Art History to Driver's Ed to AP Biology, it's an excellent fit for the busy students, the independent students, or any student seeking an alternative from the traditional classroom. I, personally, attended the school for four years and couldn't be happier with my experience. The teachers are helpful, the system is easy to understand, and the curriculum helps prepare you for many standardized tests.Read 113 Reviews
Senior: Pasco eSchool provides a great learning evironment with teachers that are very supportive of their students learning.Read 10 Reviews
Sophomore: Broward Virtual School, or BVS for short, is great! My first year here was very welcoming, and as I'm in my second year, I feel completely comfortable with everything given to me. It's completely convenient and there are many resources just put out for you to use. I believe everyone should try online schooling once in their life, since it is a bit more different and challenging in a sense than normal public schools. It gives you a different outlook on schooling and is just a nice option to have. 4 stars up for BVS!Read 52 Reviews
Freshman: I really love College Pathways because of the amount of help and care you can receive. The teachers are always there to help, and even though they are there to help you become an independent and successful student with a great way of getting into college earlier, they still care and help you in any way they can. You don't feel alone as you start your journey into college and into the stressful adulthood life, and I think that is what I love most about my school.Read 120 Reviews
High School Freshman: This is one of the best schools I've ever attended! Everyone is always encouraged to do the best they possibly can. Even though it's an online school, everything you need (and more) is always provided. Teachers are above and beyond their requirements. Whether someone is struggling with school, life at home, or even personally, there is always help. If I could go back in time, I would definitely go through this school again.Read 169 Reviews
High School Senior: They provide above and beyond what traditional high schools offer besides being limited to a number of AP programs. However they partner with a state virtual school website that excels in courses not being covered in public schools and strive in their Honor courses. Most math and science classes need prerequisites and each new grade level for all subjects are adequately difficult and challenging. The workload is almost triple what a traditional high school would be and pushes you to work on accelerated paces 24/7.Read 14 Reviews
High School Senior: The schools academic classes are great the teachers are great and they make sure that you understand what is going on. If you don't then you can work with the teacher one on one to see were you are struggling.Read 21 Reviews
Parent: My first ever experience with any teacher at HTA was amazing! They took the time to listen and actually communicate with you as an individual. They made time to find solutions to any learning curb for my child. The teachers welcomed the different styles of learning and incorporated their curriculum with technology into the students courses. HTA Kona is the best!Read 23 Reviews
Niche User: I honestly love this school. I was able to work in class, or late at night when I couldn't sleep. I was able to finish semesters early and work through the break to get ahead if I wanted to. I also got a lot of one on one time with the teachers. Because of the smaller classes, I could work with a teacher on things I really needed help with. The curriculum was challenging, but not impossible to complete, especially with all of the help available. The workload ranged from one class if I worked over the break, to four to six classes during the actual term. As a freshmen, I was able to take a sophomore or senior level class, and pass with a decent grade.Read 22 Reviews
Parent: The teachers are top notch and have high expectations for their students. Students leaving Dawes transition well into middle school. This school received the 2016 Lighthouse Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.Read 1 Reviews
Alum: Currently, I am an undergraduate attending San Jose State University. I spent three years at California Virtual Academy at San Joaquin and graduated with High Dean Hounorals every semester I attended at CAVA. I am grateful for the opportunity K12 gave me, they gave me a completely unique school option. I did not feel alone at all, the homeroom teachers were extremely supportive and connective. Any question I had word immediately be answered regarding CAVA. I did attend a brick and mortar school, although the one I had attended had great counselors their teachers had no passion. When I attend an online class session in any CAVA course all my professors have evident passion and this is inspiring. This school prepped me for college life and I am grateful to have been a part of it.Read 15 Reviews
