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.

My experience with GCVS was a very positive one. Staff, teachers, and students were always polite, friendly, and very willing to help those around them. The only thing I would like to see change is their honors program; they offer no true honors courses, but instead offer a few harder assignments per course that are available to those who accept being in honors courses. I would like to see them offer proper honors courses in the future for those that would like the extra challenge.

My sons have been with this school since 1st and 2nd grade. They are now in 6th and 7th. We love this option for our family. They get a very well-rounded education and we can take it "on the road" when we have to travel. There is a Flex Program but we use the Traditional model where they attend live lessons with teachers for all of their subjects. My students find this school academically challenging but not overwhelming. There is so much support given to them that they did not get at the Brick and Mortar schools where they were just part of the "herd" and not valued for who they were. They get that recognition and encouragement here.

Very flexible and easygoing but needs a better platform for the courses and such, it's too confusing and doesn't give me notifications on when I should be doing an assignment. More meetups.

Totally unprofessional staff and school administrators.I removed my child from there after she was targeted by counselor, with fake claims. We requested a full image of the claim, the counselor was caught typing fake statements to my daughter and claiming it her account. Never seen a school targetin...
