It's a good school, though keep in mind that all work is virtual, unless you go with project-based learning (which I have no experience with). Clubs are good, there's an FRC team, but no athletics AFAIK.

Athens Renaissance School is an amazing environment. There are students of all races, ages, etc. The teachers are great, except for one math teacher. The teachers strive to help students learn respect by showing respect to the students.
