School Reviews

The online AP classes offered are horrible. The module tests, especially free responses, often have nothing to do with what was actually learned in the module. It's not even past material, It's just random questions that are vaguely related to the class. The assignments are super easy, but that doesn't help when the tests are insanely hard. It is impossible to not cheat on the tests if you want a good grade.
Review Ncvps. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
