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.

Overall, I had a positive experience at GCVS. I appreciated how adaptable and helpful the teachers were when I needed them. Since everything is done online, maintaining motivation and a sense of community was the most difficult aspect. To make it less isolating, I would like to see more live sessions or events.

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.

GCVS was a great school I attended it for four years and had a great experience. However, my favorite thing was how flexible and accommodating all the teachers were they always understood me and listen to what I had to say. They worked with me no matter what and they always believed me and never gave up. One thing I would change about Greenfield Commonwealth Virtual School is Communication with administration. It wasn't horrible but trying to get in contact with them wasn't always the easiest.

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...
