GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I transferred to WCA my junior year in hopes for a higher ciricullum, and I got what I wanted. The teachers are relatable and everything is within one click.

The only thing I would like to see changed is offering more than just Spanish for high school students. There are two languages besides Spanish offered for elementary and middle school, but only Spanish is offered for high school. The staff is fantastic. I had a wonderful 3 years of attending WCA and enjoyed those 3 years.

I just graduated from WCA and I started attending in 7th grade. With WCA I was able to easily graduate a year early. The teachers always make it a point to reach out and give as much help to the students that they can. They are rapidly expanding the amounts of clubs and activities they provide. This past school year they have started a peer mentoring group for students who are new to the school. I took part in this as a mentor and was able to see first hand how as benefited not just the menties but the Mentors too.

We homeschooled 4 kids for ten years. I just kept getting more and more overwhelming. After researching several schools we choose Connections. I was a last minute switch to a school closer to home. I am so glad I changed my mind. This school is great. Teachers are super helpful. I have three kids en...

We chose WCA for the flexibility and the opportunity for our children to work at an independent pace. We could not be more satisfied with the school, teachers and administration. If you are looking for a great education outside of the traditional brick and mortar, WCA fits the bill. Virtual school i...
