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.

My overall experience with the school was amazing. It made me happy that it was a self paced virtual school. With that being said, that was my best experience there. Being able to go at my own speed, because I learn faster than others sometimes. My worst experience was that I would have to schedule tests. Which means I may have to wait for sometime to take a test.

I went from freshman year to junior year. The staff was absolutely fantastic, they truly care about their students futures and doing whatever they can to help make their dreams come true. I loved going at my own pace and was able to achieve much more in a short amount of time because of it.

Foothills charter school is a great school. They have locations all over Georgia. They even have programs inside of correctional institutes. You can either graduate early, attend as a night school, or go back after dropping out. You receive a real high school diploma, not a GED. You receive a graduation and everything. The teachers are great. It's a truly amazing program.
