Where to begin?-42 kids in a class. 42!!! -Teachers who tease and mock students-Teachers who yell at children-Lord of the Flies-style community where kids bully without consequences or intervention-Shockingly poor instruction from under-qualified, unprofessional teachers. -The illusion of security- they check your ID if you want to stay on campus. But there is zero follow through. Adults come and go. Kids come and go. It's nuts. All of this happened on the 1st day of school. I am baffled this school even exists. It's terrible. Truly terrible.

I am a student of this school and honestly, it's not that bad, I may not be doing the greatest but nor am I doing the worst, it's not the school that's making me do that anyway, I really truly think this is a good school and this is coming from a student, the place is nice, in each classroom the students are watched by usually 3-5 teachers, and I have never been bullied there at all, no-one has, so if the person that got the other review in, make sure you didn't just get that from your child, and also, I understand that it would be upsetting if our school was like that, but it isn't.

This is an excellent online public school. Kids can learn in their own style at their own pace. The kids get excellent support from teaching staff. I was so pleased at how much they helped my first child that I've enrolled my third child who is struggling in a traditional classroom setting. I recommend this option for kiddos who aren't doing well in a brick and mortar school. Online school can be a good alternative!
